Jolyon Maugham is making a career out of wasting other people’s money pursuing spurious legal challenges to Brexit. He’s lost every single time. Even this particularly narrow question was already rejected and has only gone through on appeal. I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Its late at night, in a bed and breakfast and flight pending very early in the morning back to Texas, so I haven't read the posts in details but I can relay this, and Brexit hasn't even started!. A Facebook friend of mine, who is British, lives in Italy and spends most of his time, travelling the globe, was turned away from the EU line in Cologne, this week, as the UK is no longer considered European. Obviously, this is not true until next March but who is going to argue with an immigration official. Apparently, a few of his friends, had come across this situation, in France. I would keep a close eye on what is happening before your trip next June.

I would’ve, very politely, told them to get stuffed.

The deal is being denounced by both Leavers and Remainers. Three ministers have already resigned this morning including the Brexit secretary and letters are flooding in to Sir Graham Brady. Mrs May will either have to U-turn or walk at this rate.

Prepare for chaos "in the unlikely event of no-deal" -- airlines into/out of UK to EU are already linking to UK gov website warning of difficulties with your furry friends at Easter and also that UK travellers will need passports with at least 6 months validity.

"the European court ruled that the UK could stop the article 50 process without seeking EU approval.

The court in Luxembourg delighted remain campaigners by issuing an emergency ruling on Monday morning that under EU law, the UK was able to unilaterally halt the article 50 process – fuelling renewed calls for a second referendum.

Speaking to MPs later as she fought to defend her decision to delay a Commons vote on her deal, the prime minister admitted the ECJ’s ruling meant she was able to revoke article 50 – a decision her government had bitterly opposed.May was challenged by Liz Saville Roberts, a Plaid Cymru MP, who said the European court ruling meant “it is in the prime minister’s gift to personally take Brexit off the table”.

The prime minister indicated that was true but made clear she had no plans to do such a thing. It would be a short-term fix, she said, but would betray voters who won the 2016 referendum. “Revoking article 50 would mean going back on the vote of the referendum and remaining in the EU,” May said.

Scottish judges are to hold an emergency hearing in response to the ECJ ruling next week, chaired by Scotland’s most senior judge, Lord Carloway, the lord president, and two other judges, who now have to transpose it into domestic law.

Lawyers for the cross-party group of Scottish parliamentarians who took the case to Luxembourg are expected to argue it means the prime minister is lawfully able to cancel the article 50 process without needing new legislation.

Andy Wightman, the Scottish Green party MSP who led the legal challenge, said it was a momentous ruling which now meant the UK could stay in the EU and keep all its existing benefits, including its rebate, its opt-outs and the pound.

“MPs now know that stopping Brexit altogether is an option open to them before the end of the article 50 period,” he said.
