Seven months after the advisory-only EU referendum, 114 brave MPs passionately spoke and voted AGAINST triggering Brexit.
Chris Bryant, Labour MP for the Rhondda, was one of them.
Along with 46 other Labour MPs, he defied the 3-line whip imposed by his then party leader, Jeremy Corbyn, and voted AGAINST the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill.
From 31 January to 1 February 2017, MPs debated whether to support the Second Reading of the Bill to give the then Prime Minister, Theresa May, the go-ahead to notify the EU of the Article 50 notice-to-leave.
With the support of 182 whipped Labour MPs, the government overwhelmingly won, with a total of 498 MPs voting FOR the Bill, and 114 MPs voting AGAINST.
(The government didn’t need Labour’s support to win the vote, but Labour’s endorsement gave a boost to Theresa May’s Brexit - a Brexit which, at that stage, had no assessments, no details, no plan, and only the endorsement of a mere 37% of the electorate).
Most Parliamentarians before the referendum were against Brexit.
But the referendum result cowed most MPs into supporting Brexit, even though the referendum was supposed to be an advisory poll only.
The referendum itself was a deeply flawed exercise, not only because just 37% of the electorate supported Leave - a percentage which wouldn’t have been sufficient for Brexit to have gone ahead in other democracies with more experience of running referendums properly.
But there were also other flaws in the democratic credentials of the referendum result, such as that half the countries of the UK - Scotland, and Northern Ireland, along with Gibraltar - voted strongly to remain in the EU.
In addition, many people directly affected by the outcome of the referendum were refused a vote.
They included around three million citizens from the rest of the EU who had settled in the UK, and over three million Britons living in other parts of the world who were promised a vote, but then the Tory government broke that pledge.
Not to mention that every reason given to leave the EU was based on misleading information, as many more voters now realise and agree.
Today, over seven years later, even some of those 114 MPs who voted against triggering the Article 50 notice-to-quit the EU now accept and support Brexit.
But the public does not.
Polls consistently show that a majority of voters consider Brexit to be a mistake and would now vote to rejoin the EU.
Isn’t it time to put this back to the people?

The best of all MPs that Labour has to offer. He spoke in opposition to the harm and nonsense that will not be reversed by current Labour policy - which is shrouded in fog and gaslight.
Brilliant speaker and all his fears and worries realised. 😢
His book 'Code of Conduct' is well worth reading, especially after 14 years of Tory corruption.
Wow amazing
Just shows now, that project fear is reality
Brexit Status 2024:
1. Brexit is DONE, EU doors are shut and Brexit cannot be reversed.
2. The treaty cannot be renegotiated and/or rewritten.
3. The existing international treaty will not be replaced by a new one.
4. As a lawyer Keir Starmer cannot ignore that an international treaty is like an agreed and signed contract and that changes only can be made to that contract/international treaty if BOTH parties agree to do so.
However, the EU's answer is/was already "NO, Thanks but NO Thanks, Or you are IN, or you are OUT. No more cherries on that cake. END OFF". The EU respects the democratic decision of the UK to leave the EU. Brexit means Brexit, OUT means OUT and OUT you are. Britain managed to vote itself out, but won't be able to vote itself back in.
Joining the EU:
Not yet to talk about the criteria and conditions that need to be fulfilled, before being able to join the EU/27 member states, i.e. "accepting the Euro €, requirement that a state has the institutions to preserve democratic governance and *human rights, has a functioning market economy, and accepts the obligations and intent of the European Union."
Just a little reminder:
The UK's applications to join in 1963 and 1967 were vetoed by the President of France, Charles de Gaulle. While it was true that Britain's economy, like many others, was struggling to recover from the high cost of WW2, De Gaulle had personal as well as economic reasons for not wanting the British around the table.
Hate against the EU:
During and after the Brexit referendum campaign, Britain has not stopped to display their hate against the EU as well as campaigning to leave the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) for the simple reason that it contains the word "Europe" in it..
The EU/27 member states certainly have reasons enough, to reject any future application for a UK candidacy as a future EU member state and it will not come as any surprise whatsoever.
Human Rights:
- isn't it the UK with its Tory government and their friends from the far-right business company Reform UK Ltd, who are campaigning to leave the ECHR and by doing so, are taking away the Human Rights of its own population?
There already is the first hurdle and there are more of them i.e. not respecting international laws and by breaking them.
Who on earth would like to have a country like that as a club member?
The UK would be well advised to join Belarus and Russia instead.
One cannot join the EU like taking a bus, a taxi, a train, a plane when it suits the political and financial agenda and then tell the EU to f* off after having milked it financially for decades.
Conclusion:
If the British public, farmers and fishermen vote for these con-artists and Putin apologists again, then they cannot blame anybody else but themselves! Fool me once, shame on You! Fool me twice, shame on ME!
This is what Nigel Farage and the Tories stand for:
Getting rid of YOUR Human Rights (the European Court of Human Rights i.e., ECHR, enshrined in the Good Friday Agreement) and breaching international laws and conventions i.e., UNCHR Refugee Convention 1951 and its 1967 Protocol.
Watch your Human Rights and Your Equality Act going up in flames!
The Media: BBC, ITV, K-GB News and SKY News, Daily Express, Daily Mail, The Telegraph etc helping Hitler and Putin loving Nigel Farage to get elected? You bet! Putin will be so proud of his friend Nigel, will he not?!
NHS for sale:
Nigel Farage (broker) and Donald Trump (bidder) and for Labour, Wes Streeting (broker) and the Israeli IDF linked Health Firm (bidder). BYE BYE NHS.

"Nigel Farage’s Reform Party Took £135,000 from Climate Science Deniers and Fossil Fuel Interests
All of the anti-net zero party’s funders in 2023 have oil and gas investments or ties to climate science denial."
Nicely put.
We need to get back to central sensible politics where people and country matter where both can flourish together not chaotic populism right wing ideology and intolerance hatred , that’s a country I don’t recognise or want to be part of yes to apply for EU membership would be a great opportunity to get out of small minded nationalism that has diminished this country and most right minded people would vote for, IF democracy still exists in this country, which is the right to change our minds. Like Chris Bryant I was never ever going to vote for catastrophic Brexit ideology dark forces overpowered democracy hopefully not for good.
Chris Bryant says it how it is, a man with integrity.
Chris Bryant is a truthful, decent politician ..He is one of a small group who believe in tolerance and humanity...A tragedy being that since a majority follow Murdoch print plus BBC , they are unaware of truth..Great viewing we are still able to see the light even though the tunnel is extremely long ..
Hear hear
I may not agree with everything he believes, I'm sure he's not perfect, as I am not, but he comes across as a decent honourable man, who puts the good of the country & the people he represents above himself. He's the best of what parliament has to offer, in stark contrast to the shambles currently in government.
Great politician and so right

If only all MP's were of the calibre of Chris Bryant.
Maybe a future leader?
❤❤❤❤❤
How right he was
I also agree..incidentally my name is Stoddart Christie!
Huge respect to Chris. He does great work in parliamentary committees and is one of the few MPs I would trust. He shows real integrity, professionalism and accountability - unlike the spiv who promised those qualities.
It is brave to stand up when the tide is against you. Bryant was and is standing on the right (pardon) side of history
A moral man
Why don't the best people like Chris Bryant get to be the leaders of any of the "party's"? seems like the crap rises to the top in politics, very depressing state of affairs.
I guess the sociopaths are the most ambitious and self-obsessed so that's what we get.
He had some valid points.
Decent MP let down by his taxpayer funded house-fiddle.
Vote Reform party
Why? Are you a masochist?
@@vullings1968 Or is it that he is anti-British?
