Ultimately this might require the European courts to second.
The second claim is that it is “very likely” that MPs and peers will be given a vote
once the withdrawal negotiations are finished. Obviously the reversibility of Article 50 is pretty key to the context of that statement. A vote is pretty useless if the choice is between accepting the outcome of some negotiations, or being ejected from Europe without any successful negotiation at all!
