NLJ this week: Reasons to un-Brexit

191474

Think the unthinkable—could Britain rejoin the EU? Eight years after the referendum, David Wolchover, barrister of Gray’s Inn and Ridgeway Chambers, boldly voices that which no Labour politician dare ever dream of uttering

But how? Wolchover sets out the reasons why he believes former Prime Minister Theresa May’s triggering of Article 50 was ‘blatantly unlawful’ and why there is a ‘sound constitutional basis’ for adopting a rejoin policy.

Wolchover writes: ‘Parliament had given Mrs May a discretion to make the decision, but it was not an unconditional one; it was not unfettered.’
