On April Fools' Day, MPs will debate an online petition that calls for the Brexit process to be reversed, which has gathered over 5.7 million signatures.

Image: Petitions Committee Image: Petitions Committee ON APRIL FOOLS’ Day, the House of Commons will debate an online petition that calls for the Brexit process to be reversed, which has gathered over 5.7 million signatures.

In December, the European Court of Justice ruled that the UK had the power to revoke Article 50, thereby halting its withdrawal from the EU. This would have to be done before actually leaving – it couldn’t be revoked after that. The level of reaction led to accusations of “fraud and overseas signatures”, the Petitions Committee said, adding that 96% of the signatures on the petition were from the UK.

The British government’s response to this petition was: “This Government will not revoke Article 50. We will honour the result of the 2016 referendum and work with Parliament to deliver a deal that ensures we leave the European Union.”
