EU Withdrawal Bill: Tory Rebels Behave Like ‘Grand Old Duke Of York’ After Last Minute Climbdown<\/b>
\nTory Remainer rebels were compared to the \u201cGrand Old Duke of York\u201d after backing down from an EU Withdrawal Bill revolt on human rights at the very last minute.<\/p>\n

Conservative MPs led by Dominic Grieve were preparing to join forces with their opponents to inflict defeat on the Government\u2019s Brexit legislation over its potential impact on human rights.<\/p>\n

Grieve had tabled an amendment calling for the full protection of the EU\u2019s Charter of Fundamental Rights in post-Brexit domestic law, but withdrew it at the final hour and refused to back a similar motion by Labour.<\/p>\n

Fellow would-be rebels Anna Soubry and Nicky Morgan were among 15 expected to defy the Government, but the sole Tory to step out of line was arch-europhile Ken Clarke.<\/p>\n

It is understood ministers will work with Grieve to make changes to the Bill at a later change, but SNP said the Tory rebels have capitulated for \u201cprecious little\u201d.<\/p>\n

SNP MP Joanna Cherry said: \u201cThe process of leaving the European Union is already extremely complex and unpredictable, and the removal of the charter of fundamental rights simply risks creating an additional level of legal uncertainty and instability. So why do it? Why not reconsider?<\/p>\n

\u201cJust like the Grand Old Duke of York, the much-lauded Rebel Tories have marched their troops up to the top of the hill and then down again after precious little by way of concession.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Northern Ireland, all we hear are platitudes and assurances from the UK Gov. and a shocking lack of detail #EUWithdrawalBill #EURights pic.twitter.com\/pN4fiPiwU7<\/a><\/p>\n

\nBritain is currently a member of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, which covers many civil, political and social rights for EU and UK citizens.<\/p>\n

Until the UK formally leaves the European Union, EU law applies in the UK either directly in some instances, or when it is written into UK law, such as when an Act of Parliament is passed to apply an EU directive.<\/p>\n

\u00a0But its jurisdiction will no longer apply after the country leaves the EU in March 2019 and the EU Withdrawal Bill in its current form states: \u201cThe charter of fundamental rights is not part of domestic law on or after exit day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cherry added: \u201cThe UK government must listen to the overwhelming legal advice which has warned against failing to incorporate the Charter with the rest of retained EU law, and warned that the repeated reluctance of successive UK governments to fully incorporate UN human rights treaties, such as the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) into domestic law, show that the UK government cannot be trusted to protect citizens\u2019 rights.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe UK government must not resort to a race to the bottom by abandoning rights that have played a central role in our day to day lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liberal Democrat Brexit Spokesperson Tom Brake added: \u201cThe Government squeaked home, but we will not give up the fight to protect fundamental rights from an extreme Brexit.<\/p>\n

\u201cMinisters won\u2019t be permitted to weaken vital protections to appease their own Brexiteer backbenchers and ram through a Tory Brexit.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe vast majority of people do not want to see a Brexit that undermines our freedoms, equality and privacy.\u201d
