PM SWEET-TALKS TORY REMAINERS

THERESA May is to hold talks with Tory Remainers in a bid to prevent them wrecking her Brexit legislation.

She offered the olive branch to Anna Soubry yesterday after the former minister warned the Great Repeal Bill could result in ‘an unprecedented Government power grab’.

Dominic Grieve also warned he could rebel against the legislation, now known as the EU Withdrawal Bill.

The former attorney general claimed it could result in ‘ministerial rule by decree’.

The legislation repeals the European Communities Act 1972, directly transferring thousands of EU regulations into British law. Ministers insist the huge scale of the operation requires them to use so-called Henry VIII powers.
