Ed Miliband wants MP’s to have a say
The previous leader of the Labour party is said to be leading a cross party group of MP’s who believe there should be a vote in the commons before negotiations for the Brexit start. They have suggested that the UK’s referendum was not a vote to leave the single market just the European Union. Miliband has said it would be an “outrage” if Theresa May was to start negotiating before allowing all MP’s to vote on what should be the Brexit conditions.

Very efficient service. I’ve never used a service like this before & was purchasing a house in France. It was all explained very well & I was kept informed all along the process. Putting a deposit down to pre-book the rate also saved us a fortune.
