Parliament must accept Leave vote or face ‘understandable insurrectionary forces’, says Brexiteer Lawson

Brexiteer Lord Lawson has raised the sinister possibility of “understandable insurrectionary forces” if parliament attempts to delay Brexit. He warned of a deepening “rift” between politicians and the public and that “an ugly situation” was developing. He made his comments in a debate in the House of Lords, where pro-Brexit peers are attempting to resist a Bill which would force the prime minister to ask the EU for an extension to the Article 50 process beyond 12 April and would give parliament the power to decide the length of this delay.
