After all the time and effort that went into defeating the House of Lords amendments last week as well as defeating numerous other Remainer amendments, Brexiteers now find themselves doing it all over again.

Over the weekend there was much talk from the Tory Brexit rebels that they were lied to and the former attorney general, Dominic Grieve, said that the Tory Brexit rebels have the power to bring down the government if they don't get their way over a parliamentary vote on the final Brexit deal.

So expect there to be more to-ing and fro-ing on inserting the terms of a so-called meaningful vote on the final EU/UK Brexit deal into the EU Withdrawal Bill - again.

And Matt Ridley writing in the Times says that there must be a group of determined Remainers 'maybe in London, Maybe in Brussels' that have met and cooked up the plan designed, not to soften or even improve Brexit, but to kill it off.

And the mechanism they seem to have chosen he says, is the so-called 'Meaningful Vote'.

"Who met where and when we may never know, - he writes - but let’s picture a scene: a pack of Blairite spin doctors, a shoal of well-watered Eurocrats, a posse of Tory rebels, a pomposity of QCs, an incantation of retired mandarins, and, off stage, an affluence of money men."

And now he says, because of last week's votes in the commons, all they have left is the meaningful vote.

And that may explain why they are getting so hot under the collar about it.

But all this huffing and puffing about bringing the government down over the meaningful vote, might well quietly back-fire on the Remainers says Patrick Maguire in the New Statesman.

"Well done Dominic Grieve," he writes, "You just killed your own rebellion".

And the reason he gives is that, once the other Tory rebels start reflecting on rebelling and bringing the government down, they may just step back from the brink.

Noting Dominic Grieve's comments about 'we could collapse the government', Maguire said the candour was striking but that:

"In admitting that their manoeuvres could in fact topple the government, Grieve may well have made rebelling on the meaningful vote a much harder sell for MPs who might have been convinced otherwise."

The numbers of rebels may well decrease over this, allowing the EU Withdrawal Bill to escape untouched on Wednesday, says Maguire.

Frank Field MP wants to reform the House of Lords.

A new report says that free ports will be a great boon to a post-Brexit UK and international trade.

The EU is preventing EU and UK bodies to get together to sort out post-Brexit aviation.
