«Breaking News» Attorney General Geoffrey Cox blasts MPs for gambling with 'people's lives' in Brexit clashes

Attorney General Geoffrey Cox launched a searing attack on MPs planning to torpedo the Brexit deal today - demanding they stop acting like 'children'.

As the temperature rose in the Commons ahead of the crunch vote tonight, Mr Cox accused them of risking 'chaos' and 'playing with people's lives'.

In brutal clashes, he fended off claims from Remainers and Brexiteers that the package thrashed out by Theresa May would be bad for the country. 

He warned them not to underestimate the legal complexity of leaving the EU after 45 years, saying the deal offered a chance for 'order and predictability'.

'It provides for the orderly and predictable and legally certain winding-down of our obligations and involvement in the legal systems of the EU,' Mr Cox said.

'If we do not legislate for that legal certainty as a matter of law alone, thousands of contracts, thousands of transactions, thousands of administrative proceedings, of judicial proceedings in the European Union and this country, will be plunged into legal uncertainty.

'It would be the height of irresponsibility for any legislator to contemplate with equanimity such a situation.

'If you were a litigant in a court, if you were dependent upon having concluded a contract on the basis of EU law and you found yourself suddenly with the rug pulled from under you, not knowing what your legal obligations would be, you would say to this House 'What are you playing at? What are you doing? You are not children in the playground, you are legislators' - we are playing with people's lives.'

Mr Cox urged MPs to come together as 'mature legislators', adding: 'Whether it can be done by March 29 or whether it can't does not affect the decision we have to take today - which is do we opt for order or do we choose chaos?' 

Mr Cox - a strident Brexiteer - said he was backing the Withdrawal Agreement for 'wholly pragmatic reasons' as he opened the final day of debate before tonight's crunch vote. 

'In the past, when this country has faced these kinds of grave obstacles and impediments to finding a way forward, the members of this place have found the resource within themselves to achieve a compromise and to subordinate their ideal preference solution that they would like to see for that which commands a degree of consensus.'

He added: 'It is precisely for that reason that I support the Withdrawal Agreement, not because I like every element of it but for wholly pragmatic reasons. It is the necessary means to secure our orderly departure and unlock our future outside the European Union.'

The debate in the Commons is being overseen by Speaker John Bercow, who has been accused of trying to frustrate the Brexit process

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
