Will the House of Lords back Brexit ? or not ? I see somebody is telling them what to do. Surely the point of having them is you let them have the Independence to review legislation.
Now many in the House of Lords have years of experience and also there are people there from Industry and Medicine etc who can bring experience from their own sectors. I wonder if their longer term view might just be different to the short term view/playing at politics view from the Tory party... https://www.politicshome.com/news/uk/government-and-public-sector/news/80876/government-drops-plans-curtail-house-lords-powers
Scotland and EEA and Radio Programme "Brexit - What Europe Thinks"
There was an interesting and informed (makes a change !!) spokesperson from Friends of Europe on BBC Radio Scotland today - explaining the issues around Scotland staying a member of the EEA - along with Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein - sounded a possibility - we are currently a member of the EEA as part of the EU - but that would mean we could stay in a trade area - although there was something about customs restrictions eg for Norway to export salmon - it is cheaper to export it raw and get it smoked in Poland or UK at moment as there is tariff of 15%?? on exports of smoked salmon from there - its all a bit of a minefield !!

Also- you must listen to this - I wish we had never had this Referendum Vote - its all too complicated - in my opinion its going to ruin us economically as the only way UK can grow is to export goods that we have manufactured - its the only way to sort out of balance of trade deficit - and to encourage exports being part of a free trade area and customs union of EU is surely a good idea ! and negotiating trade agreements with elsewhere based on a strong position in the EU -
