MPs from the Greens and the SNP are also joining in to prevent the Government going ahead with the repeal bill, which will transfer thousands of European Union (EU) laws into British statute books so the UK’s legal system can function after leaving the bloc.
The bill is the first, and most complicated, of eight pieces of legislation which need to be passed to ensure Britain can legally withdraw.
If only a handful of Tories rebel and side with the opposition, Brexit risks becoming tangled in an even more complicated web which will take years to untangle.
A senior Lib Dem adviser, told BuzzFeed News: “This is literally a once-in-a-generation opportunity to f*** over the Government.
“It’s the only way I can describe it. It’s that good. It’s going to be amazing.”
After Theresa May’s abysmal election result, Jeremy Corbyn said the repeal bill has “probably now become history”.
However, a Labour policy adviser tried to downplay the coup, saying the party wants to improve and adjust the bill, rather than defeat it, but added their amendments will prove difficult for Mrs May.
