LIAM FOX last night put Lords reform back on the table as pro-EU peers faced a furious backlash over trying to block Brexit. The Cabinet Minister said there would have to be a “big debate” over the powers of the upper chamber if they continued with their efforts to overturn the result of the EU referendum. The International Trade Secretary was a fierce defender of the unelected House of Lords when the Lib Dems pushed to have it reformed in 2013. But yesterday he hit out as Remainer Tory rebels continued to side with Labour to bog down the government’s flagship EU Withdrawal Bill. He told the BBC: “It is not acceptable for an unelected house to try to block the democratic will of the British people”, adding there would be “big debate” if the “unelected House” was able to “thwart the view of the British electorate”. Mr Fox said a slew of amends to the exit legislation was designed as a “backdoor mechanism” to … [Read more...] about Liam Fox warns Lords there will be a ‘big debate’ on their powers if they continue to thwart May’s Brexit agenda

Remoaner Lords are trying to ‘block the will of the people’ by tying PM’s hands over Brexit, Liam Fox blasts
REMOANER Lords are trying to open a “backdoor” to overturn Brexit and defy the will of voters, Liam Fox said today. The Trade Secretary warned peers not to “thwart the view of the British people” after the House of Lords voted to tie the Government’s hands on Brexit. Last night peers backed an amendment to the key EU Withdrawal Bill which would block Theresa May from having the final say in negotiations with Brussels. If the amendment is confirmed by the Commons, it will mean the PM can no longer threaten to crash out of the EU without a deal - weakening her hand in trade talks. Instead, MPs would have the power to dictate the terms of Brexit to the Government, potentially including an order to STAY in the EU altogether. Dr Fox blasted the House of Lords rebels for supporting the controversial motion. He told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “The EU Withdrawal Bill is ensuring that we leave the EU in a smooth and orderly way, it’s not a … [Read more...] about Remoaner Lords are trying to ‘block the will of the people’ by tying PM’s hands over Brexit, Liam Fox blasts
