Judgement day! The day that the Supreme Court decided on whether we needed to push a Bill through the House to trigger Article 50, which initiates the two-year negotiation between the UK and the EU before we leave. It was with slight trepidation that we waited for the decision as many of us who voted to leave the EU feared a contrary outcome would give succour to those who wish to remain in the EU, or not leave it entirely, which is not what the EU referendum was about. As it happened, the Government lost its case by 8 to 3, so a Bill is now required and that will be brought before the House as soon as possible to enable the PM to trigger Article 50 by 31 March, as she has repeatedly said. Despite the fact the Government lost its argument, we will get this Bill through, and it would be a foolish and arrogant MP who votes against it, thereby thwarting the will of the majority of the British people. I cancelled a lunch with the NFU as David Davis came to the House to make yet another Statement on the court's decision. He did well and for about 90 minutes was questioned by MPs, including myself, who raised the spectre of a member of the public taking a future Government to court if it had decided to go to war. I asked this as decisions like this have been handed down via the Royal Prerogative over many hundreds of years. It is interesting to note that the three judges who agreed with the Government were concerned that the judiciary were going where angels fear to tread by interfering with the country's decision to leave the EU. Regrettably, there are still many on both sides of the House who quite clearly do not understand what democracy means. By using amendments and other procedures they intend to attempt to delay Brexit or secure a second referendum, the Lib Dem line. I find this sad, especially when trust in politicians is already rock bottom, or so we are told, and I would suggest that those who genuinely try and stop what has been set in train should be concerned about losing their seats at the next election. We live in interesting times.
