Finally, parliament is beginning to work exactly as it should. A cross party group of MPs is demanding the house has a vote on the terms of Brexit and there is said to be growing outrage after last week's Tory conference that the government intends to trigger Article 50 in a hard Brexit without consulting parliament (HERE).
Milliband said, “Having claimed that the referendum was about returning sovereignty to Britain, it would be a complete outrage if May were to determine the terms of Brexit without a mandate from parliament".
Tory MPs joined forces with former leaders of Labour and the Liberal Democrats, the SNP and Greens to insist that parliament have a say and a vote, pointing out that, while the British people had backed leaving the EU, they had not chosen to leave the biggest trading market in the western world.
The legal challenge is due to be heard this week in the high court.
