New photo Remainers launch new plot to stop Brexit and call another referendum

Remainers have launched a new plot to stop Brexit and hold another referendum - threatening to block the Government from raising taxes unless it caves in to their demands.

Remainer MPs are gearing up to embark on parliamentary guerrilla warfare on all fronts as they try to seize on the disarray in No10 to block Brexit. 

The anti Brexit campaign group Best for Britain last night published a four-point plan which details how MPs will use their power to try to halt the UK's withdrawal.

They are threatening to stop the Government from being able to change taxes unless they agree to hold another referendum or kill off a no deal Brexit.

They would do this by tabling amendments to the Finance Bill - which enacts the Budget - which is being voted on soon after MPs get back from their Christmas holidays on January 7.

And they are also planning to try to vote down Theresa May's Brexit plan when it goes to the Commons to be voted on the following week.

If they are able to defeat the PM's Brexit blueprint, they then want to pass a new Bill which would commit the UK to hold a second referendum.  

It lays bare their plans to launch a parliamentary blitz over the next three months as they ramp up their bid to stop Brexit before Britain formally leaves on March 31. 

The report, entitled Road Not yet Explored: Routes to a Final Say, lays out four plans to try to force another vote.

Tory MP and leading Remainer Dominic Grieve (pictured in the Commons earlier this month) said the tactics detailed in the report a re worthy of consideration

Writing in it, Tory MP and leading Remainer Dominic Grieve said: 'The Government finds itself in an impasse of its own making. 

'There are routes not yet properly explored, examined or voted upon which the Prime Minister appears to be attempting to close off. 

'Instead Downing Street threatens a catastrophic 'No Deal' should the Prime Minister's deal fail to be delivered through Parliament.'

He said the tactics detailed in the report are 'worthy of consideration'.

The report says Remainer MPs must vote down Mrs May's Brexit deal when it comes to the Commons for the crunch vote next month and then rule out a no deal. 

They should then turn up the pressure to try to force through a second vote by passing a Referendum Bill.

Under one of the plans, MPs will table amendments to the Finance Bill which would aim to stop the Government from being able to raise or lower taxes unless another referendum is held.

Best for Britain says that if not enough support can be found for these amendments, then hardline Remainers should join with moderates to tone down the amendments so that they killed of a no deal Brexit.

These amendments have already been tabled Tory MPs Nicky Morgan and Sir Oliver Letwin and Labour's Yvette Cooper and Hilary Benn.

It means the PM is braced for a New year Brexit battle as some of her backbenchers unite with Labour MPs to try to kill off no deal.  

The report explains: 'It would work by removing the power to collect the annual taxes unless either a deal had been approved according to the terms of the existing legislation (namely passing a resolution and an implementation Act) or a referendum had been arranged.

'The effect of passing the amendment would be, if MPs vote down the deal, to afford the public a Final Say on the deal instead of defaulting to a no deal as the next option on the agenda.

'The Government could conceivably tough the situation out and bring forward an emergency budget in the five days between Exit Day and the end of the current tax year, but the markets would not be impressed, especially in the chaotic first week after exit.

'The Government's other options would be: carry on trying to get the agreement through the House without the support of MPs who want the public to have a Final Say on the deal; concede to a public Final Say on the deal; or resign.

'The Government has no way to stop a vote on these amendments. They would, however, need to be selected by the Speaker.'

As it stands, Britain will leave the EU without a deal if Parliament fails to approve one before March 29 2019.

The report also sets out three other plans it hopes will heap political pressure on the PM to perform a radical U-turn and call another referendum.

It urges MPs to call debates in the Commons Chamber and to table amendments calling for another referendum which may not be legally binding, but they hope will help their campaign.

It also urges MPs to defeat the PM's deal when it is voted on, or agree to back it only if Mrs May agrees to hold another referendum with remaining in the EU an option on the ballot paper. 

What is the four-point Remainer plan to try to stop Brexit?

The anti-Brexit campaign group Best for Britain has published a four-point plan to try to stop Brexit.

Here are the main points:

Plan 1: Add amendments to the Withdrawal Agreement

MPs are set to vote on Theresa May's Brexit deal in the week beginning January 14.

They can try to heap political pressure on her by tabling amendments to it. These could include statements demanding another referendum, or saying that a no deal Brexit would not be acceptable.

These would not hold any legal force, but could put pressure on the PM to change course.

Plan 2: Amend the Finance Bill 

Remainer MPs can table amendments to the Finance Bill - which enacts the Budget.

These could stop the Government from changing tax rates unless it promised to take a no deal Brexit off the table and, or, hold another referendum.

Income and Corporation taxes have to be approved annually by MPs - the Government cannot impose them without their backing.

The Finance Bill is being voted on by MPs in the week beginning January 7, and some MPs have already tabled amendments which would stop the Government from changing taxes if there is a no deal Brexit without Parliament’s explicit consent.

Plan 3: Vote down the PM's deal and negotiate another referendum:

Remainer MPs are determined to vote down Mrs May's deal when it is debated and voted on by the Commons in the week beginning January 14.

They could also offer to back the PM's deal when it is voted on - but only if she holds a legally binding referendum on it which would include the option to remain in the EU on the ballot paper. 

They could also draw up and pass a Referendum Bill, to create a legally binding referendum. This could only be done if the PM's deal is voted down next month.

Plan 4: Show political support for another referendum

MPs can call Opposition Day debates in the Commons Chamber to express their opposition to a no deal Brexit and call for a second referendum.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
