EUROPEAN HEADLINES
BBC Europe – Some MPs ‘ready to vote against triggering Brexit’. Liberal Democrat, Labour and SDLP MPs have told the BBC they are prepared to vote against triggering Article 50. Lib Dem leader Tim Farron said his party would oppose it, unless they were promised a second referendum on the UK’s Brexit deal with EU leaders. Several Labour MPs are also willing to vote against it, despite the Labour Party pledging not to do so.
