The House of Lords has passed the Brexit bill, paving the way for the government to trigger Article 50 so the UK can leave the EU.
Peers backed down over the issues of EU residency rights and a meaningful vote on the final Brexit deal after their objections were overturned by MPs.
The bill is expected to receive Royal Assent and become law on Tuesday.
The BBC's Laura Kuenssberg said this would leave Theresa May free to push the button on withdrawal talks.
The prime minister could theoretically invoke Article 50, which formally starts the Brexit process, as early as Tuesday.

Scotland wants to re-join the EU, just as it is falling apart.

It's long past time to finally, once and for all, for Britain to really, truly win the war and reclaim their sovereignty.

Scotland has sure fallen since their desire of independence from the British Crown in medieval times.

No idea about the rest of the country as I’m working nights, but it is good news to my ears. :)
Now Scotland will go ahead with another divorce referendum.
What interesting times we live in.
