Theresa May has declared that “We are all Brexiters now.” Oh no, we are not. I remain a Remainer and so do many of my colleagues on the Conservative benches in the House of Lords.
Across the Chamber, there is an overwhelming majority in favour of Britain’s continued membership of the European Union. The questions put to ministers in the weeks between the referendum and the summer recess made it clear that peers were not prepared to concede defeat and keep quiet about their qualms. That may lead to some challenging, and potentially dangerous, waters ahead.
