Commons leader Andrea Leadsom infuriates Remain-backing MPs by hinting Government could just IGNORE their Brexit deal amendments

COMMONS leader Andrea Leadsom infuriated remain-backing MPs by hinting the Government would simply ignore amendments made to the crunch Brexit deal vote.

The Cabinet Brexiteer sparked an angry backlash after saying it may not be possible open talks with Brussels if Parliament shoot down any deal Mrs May brings back - even if MPs demand it.

She suggested Britain may not have time to negotiate a new deal if MPs decide to amend any Brexit agreement in Parliament’s “meaningful vote” say on the deal.

She told the Commons that the government would “take action” on any amendments to the Brexit deal motion approved by MPs but added that it may not be possible for ministers to “proceed on the basis of an amended vote”.

Her remarks came after Conservative former cabinet minister Ken Clarke warned the Government against offering MPs the choice of deal or no deal.

Last night Labour blasted the admission, saying “he cabinet can’t ignore the fact that parliament won the right to a truly meaningful vote on the final Brexit deal.”

Shadow Brexit Minister Matthew Pennycock hit out: “The idea that ministers can simply ignore the will of parliament and impose a choice between a bad deal and no deal would make a mockery of the phrase ‘take back control”.

And the SNP’s Pete Wishart added: “This is an absolute sham and means that their ‘meaningful vote’ is quickly becoming a ‘meaningless vote’.

“All Members should reject this and demand we have a real say on what might be the biggest decision the House has taken in the past few decades.”
