I will vote against the Bill..in protest against this bad agreement & its chaotic, UNDEMOCRATIC implementation. The Bill is UNDEMOCRATIC not just in its timescale but in its content, with MASSIVE, all-encompassing HENRY VIII powers in Clauses 31- 33

"The replacements are NO match for what we are losing.

How otherwise could we have decided to leave the EU?
Are we regaining unfettered sovereignty, that golden calf before which so many supporters of leaving the EU seem now to worship?
NO, this agreement we are debating inhibits the exercise of our sovereignty in hundreds of...

different ways, as does our membership of NATO, acceptance of the compulsory jurisdiction of the UN’s International Court of Justice & the WTO's dispute settlement procedures,as do the provisions of the rules-based international order we are, quite rightly, defending & promoting
@PeterHain🔥 #BrexitBill= a TRAGEDY😢
Dogmatism which confuses sovereignty with power & influence has triumphed. This thin deal is better than no deal...but no pumped-up, jingoistic celebrations can disguise an act of GRATUITOUS, ENORMOUS NATIONAL SELF HARM. 😭💔

Our weight and influence on the global stage as a senior member of the world’s biggest trading & diplomatic bloc is now reduced to that of a bit player in an increasingly dangerous multipolar world.. a rule-taker, excluded from the v European trade, defence, foreign & external..
security policy-making that still impacts directly upon us as a close neighbour & trading partner.
Leaving EU SM (which = around half our trade), will, Govt estimate, reduce national income per head by ~5% & have 2 to 3 times the medium to long-term economic impact of Covid-19.😱

First the bill.
In Florence speech May made two commitments.
1) No EU member will "pay more or receive less over the remainder of the current budget plan" (2014-2020) - so UK pays 2 x €10bn - viz €20bn to fill hole in current EU budget left by Brexit /2

Mrs May did NOT specify what this mean. The EU wants to know.
Given EU emphasis on filling 2014-2020 budget hole, the UK had 1) would be enough for 'sufficient progress'. It wasn't. /3
