Jon Danzig |

An amendment by Labour to protect our EU rights and protections after Brexit has been defeated in the House of Commons.

Twenty-eight years ago today, on 9 November 1989, the people of Berlin – east and west – joined together to dismantle the wall that had cruelly separated their city for twenty-eight years.

That’s something top EU lawyer, Jean-Claude Piris, said will be ‘totally impossible.’ Next, Mrs May […]
