Michael Heseltine is to lead Lords’ Brexit revolt as part of a rebel Tory campaign to stop Theresa May taking Britain out of the EU without a deal

‘Michael Heseltine has put himself at the head of a rebel Tory campaign to stop Theresa May taking Britain out of the EU with no deal – unless she gets the go ahead from MPs.
The peer says he will defy orders by Tory whips to not vote for a change to the Brexit Bill, which will give Parliament a veto over the outcome of Mrs May’s Brussels negotiations, including if she walks away without a deal.
Writing in today’s Mail on Sunday, Lord Heseltine says: ‘This is not a confrontation with the Government. It is to ensure the Commons can exercise its authority over the defining issue of our time.’
The revolt comes at the same time as a separate campaign to force Mrs May to guarantee the rights of EU nationals in the UK to stay here – before talks even begin.’
