Nigel Farage said Andy Burnham’s comments about potentially rejoining the EU had given him “the biggest boost in [his] career”. We look at why — even if it seems counter-intuitive — another Brexit debate could actually hurt Farage.

Before the Brexit referendum, a whole bunch of MPs explained to Britain how the economy would collapse post-Brexit. While Brexit hasn’t yet happened, some did say that the destruction would take place immediately after the vote; which didn’t exactly happen as expected. So in this video, we explain what’s happened and why the economy hasn’t done too badly in the end.

Parliament have not "lost control". Labor have completely lost the plot and have proposed ridiculous amendments that are unnecessary and pointless. This was to make the "news" about their perspective or lack there of. No way would their amendment ever pass. Just another round for labor to stand up and complain with zero commitment to doing anything in parliament beyond being a waste of time and money.

@benchapple1583
January 4, 2024 at 11:25 am
Parliament votes for or against amendments and therefore loses power! How? Johnson doesn't decide on his own, he has to ask parliament. If they vote it through then that's it. How did they lose power? Did they lose power because the people voted for the Tories by a landslide? You seem to equate 'parliament losing power' with 'the Tories won a landslide'. ie. people voted.
@Exiledk

Labour shot themselves well and truly in their own foot, not to mention arse and elbow. They should be grown up enough to know they have nothing left to say of any meaning. Screw 'em. I'm fed up with lefty prevarication…
@bennym8218
January 4, 2024 at 11:25 am
Well the reason why it was included was because May was only half in brexit. She wasn't a true supporter of Brexit and those in parliament wanted to make sure future governments unless they had a clear majority, wouldn't be able to override the shit they had let out before

Labor lost a huge amount of its power because of belly aching over stupid stuff that regular brits don't give two shits about, so what do they do? Propose a stupid amendment designed to clog the process of getting brexit through, that forces the government to be concerned about the stupid shit that most brits don't care about.
They never learn do they?

It's all blah blah blah, Parliament had there chance months ago, they are crying over spilt milk. In my opinion probably 70-80% of links to the EU will remain especially on policing and securities,and all the others that are mutually beneficial.

@fwcolb
January 4, 2024 at 11:25 am
Parliament has lost control! The majority for the Bill just passed was by a majority of 99. As we know, anyone who understands the UK Constitution knows, that the UK Government has traditionally had the power to negotiate treaties.
You need to have better arguments to convince me. The majority of democratically-elected MPs have voted and they have passed the Bill which will take the UK out of the EU. Time to accept the democratic process as it exists under the UK Constitution.

@hellfirehellfyre6591

Hon. Debonaire, with respect the British parliament has had more than three years to work out and negotiate those details with an EU and a business community that has been willing to negotiate to find a workable solution. The failure to do so is entirely the fault of the British parliament and is quite frankly as appalling as it is astounding.

@Nobumblegumforyou
January 4, 2024 at 11:25 am
The worst thing for our country was delaying brexit and talking about it.
Businesses refused to invest and the pound gets weaker. That's why you saw the pound rally significantly on the Conservative victory on a large majority.
We finally have some certainty and we have a government that can do its basic function. To govern and make new legislation. What we had before was a disaster and an embarrassment on the international stage.
