Brexit: Path clear for Theresa May to trigger Article 50 after bill clears Lords

The path is now clear for Theresa May to begin Brexit negotiations after the Lords passed her Brexit Bill unamended.After weeks of bitter wrangling in both Houses, the Government comfortably fought off two Liberal Democrat bids to again amend the Brexit Bill in the Lords.In a day of drama, the Commons voted to reject two changes made by peers to the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill, which gives the Prime Minister the power to trigger the two-year Brexit talks.
