Following the outcome of last Thursday’s High Court ruling
stopping the British Prime Minister from triggering Article 50 without giving
parliament a say, the PM has re-emphasised that her government is "getting
on" with Brexit. Appealing for peers to "remember" the result referendum.
Nigel Farage, who is the leader of UKIP and Brexit campaigner
has also given a serious warning of a possible street protests if the
referendum result is thrown out.
Nevertheless, the campaigner who initiated the High Court
case said it would halt ministers acting like a "tin-pot
dictatorship".
Earlier on, the PM announced to the world that she would the
trigger to set in motion the process that will take the UK out of the EU by the
end of March.
But after arguments from both sides, the court ruled that
parliament should debate on the when and how Article 50 should be triggered.
According to the government, the Royal Prerogative have
given enough powers to ministers to trigger the process without involving the
parliament and peers making any vote to it. Thus have decided to appeal the
ruling at the Supreme Court in December.
During a media chat, Jeremy Hunt revealed to BBC One's The
Andrew Marr Show the prime minister had to be allowed "latitude" when
negotiating with the EU over Brexit.
He said: "The impact on the economy will be far worse
if, through some parliamentary mechanism, Theresa May is forced to lay out her
entire negotiating strategy."
Also before the PM left for a trade mission to India she
stated at Heathrow Airport that: "I think we all have to remember, and
what MPs and peers have to remember, is that we had a vote on 23 June.
"The British people, the majority of the British
people, voted to leave the European Union. The government is now getting on
with that."
She added: "I want to ensure that we get the best
possible deal for the UK as we leave the EU, that's the best possible deal for
trading with and operating within the single European market.
"But alongside that, the UK will be a confident,
outward-looking nation, taking its place on the world stage, looking to build
relationships around the globe."
Also speaking to Andrew Marr, Ms Miller, the investment
manager who was the lead claimant in the High Court case against the
government, said: "Everyone in this country should be my biggest fan,
because we have used our own money to create certainty about the way
ahead."
She added: "Do we want a country where we have no
process?"
"The case is that [Mrs May] cannot use something called
the Royal Prerogative to do it because we do not live in a tin-pot
dictatorship," Ms Miller said.
