Commons vote to ratify Brexit very likely, says No 10

Indeed. So if it isn't ratified then we will default to WTO. Rock and a hard place.

Since when has correct and intelligent got anything to do with the law?

Fair point. We're doomed.

Face it, you're bricking it. The Judges will rule on liberals favour because that would be the correct intelligent educated thing to do.

Based on the arguments put by the challengers I would be surprised if the judges were struggling not to laugh.

Whatever the result, the appeal will be next.

Downing Street has said it is "very likely" MPs will be able to vote on the final Brexit agreement reached between the UK and the European Union.

A government lawyer made the comment in the High Court and No 10 confirmed it was the "government's view that is being represented".

The UK is expected to leave the European Union in 2019.

The deal reached is expected to deal with migration controls and whether the EU remains in the single market.

BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith said the government's move to allow a vote after an agreement has been negotiated with the EU was unlikely to satisfy critics of Prime Minister Theresa May's approach to Brexit.

They are pressing for a parliamentary vote before she begins negotiations next spring - but Mrs May opposes this, saying ministers should decide when to trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, which begins the two years of talks.

Norman Smith said the latest government comments raised the possibility that any deal negotiated by Mrs May could be rejected by Parliament.

The government is currently fighting a legal case over whether Parliament should have a vote before Article 50 is triggered.

During the High Court hearing, government lawyer James Eadie QC moved on to what was likely to happen at the end of the negotiations, in 2019, saying: "The government view at the moment is it is very likely that any such agreement will be subject to ratification."

Asked about this, Downing Street said: "It is the government view that is being represented."

UK voters opted in favour of leaving the EU by 51.9% to 48.1% in a referendum in June.

The three-day High Court hearing ends on Tuesday.

Nobody knows what type of Brexit we voted for

One that does not exist.

Not in the way you think. The markets seems to agree, pound has shot up today on the news MP's must be allowed to vote on the type of Wrexit.

Clearly MP's are not going to vote for the Wrexit Brexiters were thinking of. So, yeah, game over.

The court challenge to the PM's right to trigger A50 sounds like all the whinges put in to a single list.
