The UK government’s process of quitting the EU has been frustrated on numerous occasions by Remain-supporting lords who have proposed amendments to the Withdrawal Bill, which offers stronger protections against the prospect of a no-deal Brexit, and putting the brakes on post-exit trade plans.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has conceived a plan to eliminate the overwhelming pro-Brussels majority in the House of Lords by flooding it with dozens of Brexiteers, government sources revealed last night, according to the Express.
This past July, the Lords passed an amendment ensuring that Parliament sit in the weeks leading up to the EU’s 31 October deadline in a bid to block a no-deal Brexit.
