It comes as MPs prepare to hold "indicative" votes on the way forward tomorrow that are expected to favour a softer Brexit - a UK-EU customs union. But that would contradict a key manifesto pledge by the Tories in 2017, and overturn months of promises by Theresa May. In the paper, lawyers Stephen Laws QC and Prof Richard Ekins argue Theresa May could stop the Bill at its final stage - being signed off by Her Majesty. It would set up a constitutional crisis with the Queen, who is famously completely neutral on political matters in public. Tory Cabinet minister David Gauke today warned Theresa May it would be "unsustainable" to ignore the will of MPs if they choose a customs union.
