UK PM May - Back Brexit law or risk chaos
Reuters report says UK PM Theresa May's Conservatives Party has asked MPs to back the government’s Brexit legislation at a vote in parliament later today.
"Labour say over and again that they support the referendum result, and can be trusted to act responsibly, but today that will be put to the test. They can either back this bill or vote for chaos", said Conservative Party Chairman Brandon Lewis.
The European Union (Withdrawal) Bill will be put to vote through parliament’s lower house sometime after 1900 GMT.
What if Labour votes against the bill? - PM May should win a vote, given the arrangement with a small, pro-Brexit Northern Irish Party.
