Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg join forces with pro-European Tories in plot to keep Britain in EU single market



Ed Miliband (left), who is leading the demands, says Parliament must not be overlooked because of 'the importance of these decisions for the UK economy' while former Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg (right) said it 'would not be remotely acceptable' to bypass Parliament on the terms of Brexit. They are joined in opposition by former Tory ministers Anna Soubry (inset, left) and Nicky Morgan (inste right). But Jacob Rees-Mogg told MailOnline: This 'typifies the disdain that the liberal elite has for voters'. The latest attempts by MPs to change the terms of the historic June 23 referendum - which saw the biggest turnout in any UK election for more than two decades - comes after last week's Tory conference signalled the Government is pursuing a 'hard-Brexit' that would take Britain out of the single market in order to end free movement of people.
