Reuters (HERE) are reporting the start of the legal challenge to the government's plan to use crown prerogative to trigger article 50. This is a crowd funded legal challenge and you can keep up to date with progress on the link in the side bar on this blog.
I believe the government is going to find it very hard to argue against giving parliament the right to vote on whether or not Article 50 is triggered. The legal arguments seem very sound to me and I think the courts will find in our favour.
The Guardian believe parliament should be heard (HERE). If the government is wise it will allow a vote otherwise parliament could get very difficult to control. There is a big majority against leaving and while I don't believe they will block it, MPs should have a vote and make recommendations about which sort of Brexit they will support.
