Lord Flight slammed a group of peers for criticising the Repeal Bill that would see EU legislation transposed into UK law after Brexit. Dismissing claims the bill would give ministers "excessive power", he told RT UK : "There’s a lot of Henry VIII powers which give ministers absolute powers. The only point in the other direction is that we’ve been living with this stuff as EU rules forced on us anyway without particularly complaining about it. "It’s quite ironic that apparently, it’s ok to all be put through without any parliamentary debate when it was EU rules but when it comes to using our own legislature we expect to abide by our own standards." The Repeal Bill would transpose EU law into UK legislation The Repeal Bill is a form of primary legislation that would give UK ministers delegated powers to draft orders and regulations – also known as secondary regulation.

The Canadian High Commissioner, Janice Charette, said the UK and Canada could strike an “even better agreement” than what the country has in place with the EU. Canada has recently agreed a trade deal with the Europen Union which took seven years to negotiate and complete.

Matthew Goodwin, who teaches at the University of Kent, hit out at Ukip's new leader for suggesting a transition deal with the EU was needed to avoid a "car crash".

He said: "She claimed she offered strong and stable leadership - oh well. Unfortunately for the country and many of our previous supporters trusted her. "So 14 months after the referendum, so have we come any closer to regaining control of our borders? Are we able to agree our own trade agreements?

As well as capping university bills at £9,250 a year and raising the threshold for graduates to start paying back their student loans to £25,000, the Prime Minister pledged to “look again” at the issue of student financing, including bringing back the old maintenance grant.

Sebastian Kurz, also known as "Wunderwuzzi" has successfully rebranded the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) and looks set to propel them into Government in the coming elections. The vote could spell trouble for the EU as 31-year-old Mr Kurz has not ruled out a partnership with the nationalist Freedom Party (FPO). The hard right group almost seized power in the presidential elections last year sending waves of fear across the bloc. Now, the parties could join making a right wing partnership which would challenge the bloc’s ideologies. The coalition between the ruling Social Democratic Party (SPÖ) of Chancellor Christian Kern and the ÖVP collapsed in May. Professor Peter Filzmaier, a political scientist with Austria's Krems and Graz universities, said Mr Kurz’s rebranding of the ÖVP is "unprecedented in Austrian politics, but also quite logical." He told Die Welt: "The SPÖ and the ÖVP deciding not to govern together means there is an actual chance of...

The ex-Irish PM John Burton claimed it would be a good idea for the UK to continue to pay into the EU for another six years, rather than the proposed two-year transitional period after Brexit . Mr Burton said: “I think we need to know first of all, what relationship Britain wants with the European Union. Talking about a bespoke partnership, that’s just words. "It doesn’t contain any of the detail as to whether, for example, the EU standards would be applied in Britain and could be invigilated by the European Court of Justice. “I think any transition agreement will have to be approved by all 27 members of the European Union and perhaps by their parliaments. "It will have to be compliant with World Trade Organisation rules in regard to more favoured nation treatment of one country rather than another trade partners of the European Union." The former Irish PM was not impressed by the UK's offer. “I think any transition agreement will have to be approved by all...

In the tractor capital of Belarus, Jack Wilshere drove Arsenal to victory but it wasn't an easy ride. A quick-fire double from Theo Walcott and Oliver's Giroud's 100th Gunners goal twice saw Arsene Wenger's race into a three-goal lead. But while Arsenal went smoothly through the gears in attack, the defence stuttered and spluttered in a a wide-open match which saw 34 shots – including 18 from the home club named after the local Borisov Automobile and Tractor Electronics factory. PROMOTED STORIES Another home goal late on and Arsenal would have been properly in reverse.
