A leading Brexiteer has said the UK cannot become a "colony" of the EU during the two year transition period after Britain's withdrawal in 2019.

EU leaders have agreed Brexit talks can move on, with the UK staying in the customs union, single market and under the European Court of Justice's jurisdiction during the transition.

Among the Tory rebels was Mr Clarke, who told Newsnight his actions had in no way undermined the government's negotiating position.

Just like the establishment in America will continue doing all they can to stop as much of trumps reforms as they can, up to and including convincing trump to back establishment candidates against those who would support him, so to will the MPs in the Parlement do all they can to stop Brexit from ever happening.

Watch them get a referendum that calls for a national vote in the next year that will reverse the original vote.
