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 many other democracies across the world.
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, some seven years later, even some of those 114 MPs who voted against triggering the Article 50 notice-to-quit 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?

This is the kind of person who should be leading the labour party
and the country
I have the utmost respect for Chris Bryant: one of the few politicians who actually has a moral compass.
Oh yes like how he stood up in Parliament and LIED saying Nigel farage had been given money by Russia then when it was proven that Farage did not Bryant could not bring himself to appologise Moral compass No way !
@@CaptainChucklesFarage is a Putin puppet. We all know that.
Yes he is one of a small group I am afraid 😊
“What a man” nice one Chris 👍🏴🙏🇺🇦🇵🇸🙏
Not in my name either
Mr Bryant should be PM
Besides applauding his every word to the rafters, perhaps worth registering also that the internet gets routinely trashed as dangerous and mindless, but without it the public would be at the mercy of the corporates to be allowed to view such gems, and they don't schedule easily.
And he didn’t even need hindsight every word is true and been proven true…..
Does he speak up for all the children groomed, raped and abused in out towns and cities up and down the uk for decades by those who've come here and who's numbers grow by the day? Maybe not so bothered about that eh?
@@goldiegirl7247 Maybe look at the facts before you post?
If you actually knew of Mr Bryant's life experience .. you'd be ashamed in what you wrote @@goldiegirl7247
@@goldiegirl7247You’re hallucinating more than ChatGPT. Consider getting that fact-checked with the real world.
@@goldiegirl7247what absolute bollox. What an utterly ridiculous remark. Give your head a wobble and stop this nonsense.
Prophetic words. Never in the field of British politics has a greater act of self harm been imposed on so many by so few (not the people who voted for it - the people who told them it would be great for Britain, wheb it has, in fact, dimimished us.)
+ the extremists who pretended that the vote to leave the EU gave them a mandate to leave the single market & customs union
First population on earth to vote to impose economic sanctions on themselves.....thick as mince
Brexshit an utter disaster by lying Tory governments !!!
@@stuartnoyes2615 Don't be such a silly sausage.
@stuartnoyes21615 I fail to see what the issue is you're trying to speak of. We were the poor man of Europe at the time, and that's why we joined. We've significantly benefited because of it. Now, with almost a decade of being out, we were sold a lie, we're poorer because of it and we, in typical British fashion deny its a shit show and blame everyone else for our own mistakes.
Bryant is proof that not all politicians are the same.
Can’t understand how Chris Bryant isn’t the Leader of the Labour Party’ I’d vote for him tomorrow’ unlike the useless Starmer’ who’s just fell off the fence again’ weak useless leader’
💯
He has said he doesn’t want the post even if offered. He is much more effective where he is. He is brilliant.
Starmer is just a chancer.
why he just lied the eu are a lot worse off than we are
@@leon51203 Yeah course they are. Source of info: Nigel Farage.
The brilliant Chris Bryant, tremendous stuff!
At last someone speaks the truth
Well said Chris Bryant !
They still exist. Bright and honest politicians! Bravo!
Pity, his constituents can't stand him. He's been a great help/support for me, but you should hear what the locals have to say.....very sad to have a good man and not realising it.
But not in Parliament on all the evidence across the spectrum of national matters of concern!!
From Ireland, well spoken Mr Bryant! Keep the faith and continue, knowing the silly Brexit tide will turn
It can’t get worse than it already is! Well I hope it wouldn’t!
Wow , I couldn't agree more with every sentiment in that speech.
Well said that man !
Are you complicit in the grooming gangs, raping and abusing our children for decades that have been covered up by pOlice and p0liticiansand that is still going on today too ?
How prophetic , good man
Wow! ❤
Well spoken, Chris Bryant. You're a brave man of integrity and strong principles. I don't always agree with you on everything but I'm proud to inhabit the same country as you. Da iawn, Chris!
Wish more were like him.
👏👏👏thank you . 🍀🍀🍀
Fantastic ,well said Chris Bryant .
This politician sure could see the future.
Isolating ourselves from the single biggest trading block in the world and cutting off our access to labour was and is a massive mistake.
Would like him (Chris) to be labours leader 👌
What a hero. But why post this now? It was back in 2017. The predicted disaster continues to roll itself out despite Andrea Loathsomes witterings yesterday.
Dear Jon Danzig further to what you said Mr Cameron broke the UK Law on referendums, He said in his piece of paper that he sent out to the voters ‘ Parliament will abide by the vote “ Parliament is supposed to first debate the referendum results and then vote accordingly , what he came out with basically left any MP wanting to keep their status , power and whatever else follows being an MP no choice but to put the good of the country at the back of any agenda , that alone should have been called out ?
It was so obvious that all that was going to happen. I Really don’t understand how people could not see that coming and look at us now. all you said has turned into it reality
Because the tub of lard convinced the idiots it wax all good.
What a good leader that he would make.
In cloud cuckoo land maybe!
Admired him for a good few years now. I do hope he gets a decent position if labour get in.
Number 1 politician in Parliament.
Fantastic
Well said. Thank you for exposing the truth.
Here here ruined all my plans of my last years on earth
A totally honest man. Thank you Chris.
We seem to have forgotten that there are two forces here. Brexit has shown just how bad it is to be a predominant importer of goods. We are at the mercy of everyone that has something we want and nobody wants anything from us.
Why don't the politicians talk about how we can resolve this rather than bang on about how we are being hurt!
Unless someone keeps "banging on" about how we are being hurt, then the stupid half of the average intelligence in the country will keep voting for people who couldn't give a "flying flamingo" about them.
Brilliant ❤😊
I'd love to see Chris Bryant in charge. An honest, decent, clever man
Respect.
Well said that man
Well said the truth hurts
Well, even after that, there are still people who claims that they were not warned about the possible consequences of Brexit. After this speech in 2017, it got even worse and even harder Brexit offer arrived.
Farage said: "I knew if I made immigration an issue Brexit would have a good chance." Surely, immigration must be tackled but it can only work internationally. Thus, after 7 years there is no real progress. Even more, EU countries should help,
primitive solution by Farage's Reform Party: Send them back to France.
For some immigration and free movement were the same, correct that Chris Bryant mentioned the Spanish nurses, representing this group.
The Tories use words like: No socialism in our country, lefty lawyers. But there is at least one feature of communism to be noticed. Communist governments cleansed the parties. For the Tory government there is no room for "remainers", never mind how competent they are. May and Hunt were pro EU but they changed due to opportunism and their own career.
Well said Mr Bryant! x
Chris Bryant is a fantastic politician and, very rare in politics today, a man of principle
He would make a wonderful Labour leader.
I am lost for words to express my respect and gratitude for this man...
I truly wish Chris could be my MP. What a person. Honesty, integrity and accountability Rishi? Really? Look no further than Chris Bryant. It would be such an honour to shake his hand.
Spoken like a true statesman, bravo.
I’d vote for this guy!
Good bloke
Yes, never here also. I taught English in Spain 67 to bring the ideas of democracy. I walked & bussed through Albania with a friend in 93. Lived in Greece from 74 after their Hunta fell hearing so much about that Military Dictatorship from the Greek people. Dictatorship, the rule of the Rich & corrupt can never be relied upon except to bring horrors onto the people of their regimes.
Thank you.
Brilliant!
Prophetic. Clearsighted. Ethical. Honourable. The best leader that the Labour Party never had for the past half century.
Chris Bryant is a man of honesty and integrity.
A rare breed in the house of commons, Labour would win the next GE with him at the helm.
@bulldog1066jpd,
Agree, Bryant is a man of honesty and integrity.
As for "Labour would win the next GE with him at the helm", well look at the polls, Labour have been 20 points ahead in the polls for a year now and will win the GE anyway.
There's talk of will the Tory party exist as a political force after the GE.
They’ll win it now, folks are fed up with 14 years of the same old crap !
They'll win it with, or without, Chris Bryant at the helm. There's nothing wrong with Starmer. He's also an honest man trying his hardest to keep a party full of squabbling children all focussed on the goal of achieving power first.
Excellent. My thoughts then and my thoughts now.
I have a great deal of respect for Chris Bryant, he always seems to be a man of great moral clarity and refreshingly honest about his own fallibility.
Chris should be PM. What a wonderful man he is.
And how right he was!
I like this man he’s telling us to beware of what you wish for.
Chris Bryant is a passionate honest and trusted member of the house! He is a man of principle and a defender of rights. He is a hero and his constituents and country should be proud of him 🙏🙏
Happy 4th Brexit anniversary. I see today in the UK parliament, MPs voted to dynamically align with EU laws so as not to diverge from Northern Ireland, which is in the Single Market and subject to EU law. Welcome back to adhering to EU rules, such a shame you have no say in those rules.
It was after all , an advisory vote
Never in my Name
Great speech Sir Chris an honest politician ❤
What a refreshing, intelligent, well balanced, nondestructive politician. May God bless this man, and bring me to the highest powers of the UK political system.
Thank you so much for this.
Bravo!
He speaks for me!
And me.
wish he was my mp
One point .On an MP's salary and expenses ,reality in Brexit Britain does not hurting them .The public have financial worries through shortages and much higher prices .Chris Bryant is honest and inspirational .Would he were the PM
Great speech honest man huge respect for Chris
Prescient words!
Unfortunately, Chris Bryant has now compromised his 'never, never, never' reaction to Brexit by joining Labour's front bench, that supports Brexit. What has politics become?
The power of the Tory media cannot be ignored with their ability to convince the public to support an act which harms them , by distortion and downright lies. Labour need to form a majority government and with the best will in the world they cannot reverse totally the harm done to the country by the Tories, and those who supported Corbyns Comintern politics.
It's the Right that have Caused this , The Right Always cause Trouble, it makes them Richer !!
Methinks that Brexit stance will change should Labour win power. Starmer has to keep his own swivel-eyed loons on side to get over the line first.
Perhaps it's better he stays to ensure his voice is heard and maybe he will one day become leader
I don't quite agree with you on that. They're just keeping their heads down. There's no point in nailing any colours to any mast until the election is called. Then the Tory trash press won't have the time to attack them.
And how right he was.
Chris for PM! I wish!
At last a man of principal he may have to change party as his leaders are now Tories.
Nonsense. There's a mile of road between pragmatism with the power to do something and being a Tory. Your comment is just a cheap, facile and, if I may say, a quite juvenile, point of view.
@@petergaskin1811 I don't think there is anything facile or juvenile about calling out treachery,every principle he ever supposedly held he has sold out on, as soon as he sniffs power . He has received money from the Israelis. If you can live with that says a lot about you ,If I may say Juvenilely naive. Voted Labour all my life in the vain hope we may get a leader who has the guts to follow his principals.That isn't going to happen.
I will never vote for him.
CHRIS BRYANT FOR PM LOVE THIS GUY
Wonderful man! We need him in government!
What a great pity that applause is forbidden in the Houses.
Wouldn't he make a most excellent party leader, you know where you are with him. His aims and goals never change to suit the circumstances, he is a man I would vote for.
♥️🇬🇧
Love this man-speaks with pure passion and courage-next leader of my Labour party (wish!!!!!!🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞❤️❤️)
Spot on...really couldn't have been said any better.
I am a big admirer of Jeremy Corbyn, but I could never understand his equivocation and dithering on Brexit. Isn't socialism supposed to be about internationalism and workers of the world uniting, etc.? Narrow nationalism is responsible for most conflicts in history. When will the world reach a stage where people come first?
socialism would put home grown workers before cheap migrant labour. it would also work to help british industry, both harder in EU. under his labour brexit would have maybe been much more palatable. tho he should have known tories would win and do the worst brexit imaginable. im a remain voter btw.
The bastards couldn't have done it without him
Corbyn lived in a fantasy world of creating an independent socialist UK, outside of the control of the "super-state" EU. He was a Brexiteer but couldn't admit to it
Simple Jeremy was scared of never getting a premiership if he went anti Brexit and that was a shame and a lack of courage. Actually he did worst as he sat on the fence !
When we elect fewer charlatans.
Bryant is one of the few honourable ones.
Most of us got worse off in the EEC/EU which is why we voted to be independent.
such a great speech.
Why would you want to be govend by unalected bureaucracy
How far sighted and principled is this man ❤
I still think Chris Bryant should be our next PM and leader of Labour Party, I hope once he will be PM and leader of Labour Party
He forgot about the romans in his list
Ah yes, Pinochet, Margaret Thatchers special chum!
Bravo Chris Bryant !
❤❤
Don’t you realise,we haven’t been allowed brexit? Spanner in the works etc.
If the Labour Party was made up Of Chris Bryant's And Corbyn's we could be looking towards a better future. With Starmer Zero change from the current Government . I find Lammy's statement 'power not protest' particularly spine chilling.
Corbyn would have always been for Brexit, he's an International Socialist and the EU stood in the way of him achieving his dream of an International Socialist paradise. By the way, in case you missed Mr Lammy's point, without power you and your ilk will just be pissing into the wind.
@noramartin96,
If Corbyn had won the GE, then the Labour party could have been in the situation the Tories are in now regarding Brexit. Corbyn's always been anti-european going back to 1975 when he told Reuters in 2015 that he voted against the UK's membership of the trade block's forerunner the EEC when Harold Wilson put the question toa public ballot in 1975. In 1993 Corbyn called the EU "totally unacountable to anybody". In 2009's referendum on the Lisbon treaty -EU ties with NATO he said "We are creating for ourselves here one massive great Frankenstein that will damage all of us in the long run". In 2016 he had a Luke warm campaign for Remaining in the EU at best in the referendum. In 2017 he used a 3 line whip to force Labour to vote for article 50.
Corbyn would have been a disaster.
My MP….what can I say.
Perfect speech 10/10 ✅👍👌
He needs to go at the general election
this man was right. full stop.
He should RESIGN
Great speech
