Brexit news – Live: Cabinet discipline ‘worst in history’ as warring ministers jockey for position ahead of votes that could force soft exit or general election

Over six million people have signed a petition calling on the government to halt the Brexit process. 

 

The Revoke Article 50 petition, to be debated by MPs today, is the best-supported proposal in the history of the House of Commons and Government’s e-petitions website.

Rejecting the often-repeated claim EU withdrawal is the “will of the people”, it calls for the revocation of the Article 50 letter informing the European Council of the UK’s intention to leave.

The letter can be withdrawn by the UK unilaterally, without the need for EU agreement, leaving Britain free to continue as a member on its current terms.

The petition quickly passed the 100,000-signature threshold needed for it to be debated in parliament, with the official committee revealing nearly 2,000 signatures were being completed every minute at one point.

A 2016 petition calling for a second EU referendum should the winning vote and turnout not reach a certain threshold had been the most signed petition, at almost 4.2 million.

The Revoke Article 50 petition also passed another proposal which sought to prevent Donald Trump from making a state visit to the UK, which had 1.9 million sign-ups.
