Labour are not in a position to start laying down the rules. After 2 years we are out regardless so I'll be surprised if this goes back to Parliament anyway,

I am not sure who Labour speaks for, certainly not this country. Lost their way or what ?

[naomi24]

Must? What is Labour going to do if their terms are not met?

throw the toys out the pram most likely..

It's just a foolish way of saying that regardless, they will vote against any deal, no matter how favourable to the UK, and treat the democeatic will of the people (the only one that matters in a true democracy) with disdain.

I don't understand why they can't get their heads together and come up with sensible goals to help the working class rather than continue with these policies of control of the masses and iignoring their collective view.

DEMOCRATIC
Like I, :($&$:'";(&$+: typed !!!!

OG, Labour is not the party of the working class. That's a fallacy.

The labour party is an escapee from the asylum these days.

Does no-one else find paragraph more than a bit worrying...

"It will propose giving ministers the powers to change some aspects of European laws when they have been incorporated into UK legislation, without needing the approval of Parliament."

“Does no-one else find paragraph more than a bit worrying...”

No I don’t, haggis. We need to get on. Enough time has been wasted because of interventions by time servers and self-interested parties. The process needs to move on. Enough powers and responsibilities were transferred from Westminster to Brussels over the last 40 years with scarcely an eyebrow raised in Westminster. It won’t hurt for a few reversals to occur in the same manner.

There is still something troubling me which nobody (not only our sagacious AB-ers, but nobody in politics or the media either) has explained when questions like this arise.

Labour (today, the SNP yesterday, Tory rebels tomorrow and the Lords the day after) it is said, plans to sabotage Brexit by voting against the “deal” or “settlement” or whatever else it is called. Fine. That is their prerogative. But what happens if they do? Article 50 is quite clear. Once the clause has been triggered there is a two year notice period (which begins the day after tomorrow). At the end of that period unless the European Council (not the MEPs, note) unanimously agrees to an extension (which would be most unlikely if the UK is in an apparent state of disarray) the departing nation is out. No longer a member. Finito. Gone. An erstwhile member nation.

So would the groups making these threats prefer to see the UK leave with no deal at all? Because it is not within their power to ensure anything else happens and their threats are actually quite meaningless. There are only two alternatives: on 29th March 2019 we leave and that leaving will be either accompanied by an agreement or it will not. The threatening groups seem to believe that there is somehow a third alternative. But there isn’t.

If they aren't taking that role then no one is as, for sure, no other party is interested. Working class were treated as nothing but resource until the Labour party was formed and attained power.
