(Question: What did you make of today's Supreme Court ruling?)

"Expected.The establishment stick with each other, so Parliament will have a say. But it's funny, isn't it? Because it's one of those rare times when Parliament said to us, the people, 'you decide', and the government made it perfectly clear they would accept the result, trigger Article 50, and get on with it. But here we have a judgement saying that it goes back to Parliament."

3. Farage during interview

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Nigel Farage, former UKIP leader, Member of European Parliament and pro-Brexit campaigner:

(Question: What do you make of those that brought this case and ultimately won it?)

"Well, I think every attempt is being made by the establishment to delay and dilute Brexit. So this will come to the House of Commons fairly quickly, there'll be amendments to try and give us a second referendum, there'll be amendments to try and keep us in the single market. I don't know whether any of them are actually going to succeed, but I do think this: I do think that a fair-minded British public say 'look, we had a referendum, we had a result, what is it with so many of our MPs that they can't accept democracy?"

5. Farage during interview

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Nigel Farage, former UKIP leader, Member of European Parliament and pro-Brexit campaigner:

(Question: The court case wasn't really about accepting democracy though, was it? It was about the letter of the law and it being Parliament's job to trigger this process rather than the Prime Minister, wasn't it?)

"Well, I have to say that it seems to me that we have a House of Commons that represents the common people, but in this case the House of Commons said 'You the common people make this decision'. There's no point arguing after a legal case. It's done. It's done. But it's just the response to it that we've heard from Liberal Democrats, from SNP (Scottish National Party), and indeed from some sections of the Labour Party, saying they will use this vote and debate in Parliament as an attempt to try and delay and dilute Brexit."

7. Farage during interview

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Nigel Farage, former UKIP leader, Member of European Parliament and pro-Brexit campaigner:

(Question: What is your biggest fear following this ruling?)

"My biggest fear is that the whole Brexit process is taking much longer than we were promised. David Cameron (former UK Prime Minister) made it clear: 'You're having a referendum, if you vote to leave, we will trigger Article 50 and you will leave'."

++BLACK FRAMES++

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Nigel Farage, former UKIP leader, Member of European Parliament and pro-Brexit campaigner:

(Question: Are you pleased that devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland won't get a say?)

"Had devolved administrations been given a say over this we would no longer be a United Kingdom, we'd be a federal state. So that was an expected judgement. Anything else would've been outrageous."

++BLACK FRAMES++

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Nigel Farage, former UKIP leader, Member of European Parliament and pro-Brexit campaigner:

(Question: Who do you blame for these legal wranglings?)

"Oh, I blame big money and the establishment. I mean, look. We all know that the European Union has been good for some people. It's been good for the wealthy, it's been good for big business, it's actually been quite good for many people in career politics. They're trying their very best to frustrate the will of the people."

++BLACK FRAMES++

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Nigel Farage, former UKIP leader, Member of European Parliament and pro-Brexit campaigner:

(Question: Isn't it only fair to follow the proper process though?)

"What is the proper process? If Article 50 had been triggered immediately after the referendum, we wouldn't have had any of this mess. So the lesson, the moral of the story, to the government is 'get on with it'."

++BLACK FRAMES++

++ENDS ON SOUNDBITE++

STORYLINE:

Former UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage said he "expected" the Supreme Court ruling that Parliament must vote on triggering the UK's departure from the European Union.

Speaking on Tuesday outside the Houses of Parliament, Farage said he thought "every attempt is being made by the establishment to delay and dilute Brexit."

He said opposition parties may try to use the parliamentary vote to add amendments calling for a second referendum or to ensure Britain retains its status in the European single market.

Author Thomas Harding is in the process of doing what the descendants of many Holocaust victims would find unimaginable: applying for a German passport.

When Britain voted to leave the European Union in June, the 48-year-old had to make a decision that was never necessary before the referendum - should he request the restoration of German citizenship stripped from his family by the Third Reich? He needed only a few hours to make up his mind.

“This is more than the practical, this is also about something for us, or for me, it's about something spiritual, it's about reconciliation,’’ he said. “It's about acknowledging the truth of the horrors of the past but also about trying to build a better future together, and as a European, that's what I hope to do."

It is one of the complicated realities of the UK’s pending divorce from the EU that many Britons whose ancestors came from other parts of Europe are claiming citizenship in other member states so they can retain ties to the Continent. Inquiries about passports are up at the German, Austrian, French and Polish embassies.

Some want to retain the ability to travel easily from country to country or maintain business ties. Others just want to be part of the European Union.

But for Jews whose families fled Germany to escape Adolf Hitler, the decision means re-examining long-held beliefs about history and the country that once persecuted them.

The children and grandchildren of Jewish refugees are taking advantage of a law that allows the descendants of people persecuted by the Nazis to regain the citizenship that was stripped from them in the 1930s and 1940s. More than 400 Britons have sought information about the law since the June 23 referendum, and German authorities have received at least 100 formal applications, compared with about 20 annually in recent years.

Michael Newman, chief executive of the Association of Jewish Refugees, said Brexit has fuelled interest in German citizenship, but it’s hard to know how many people will actually apply. Jews are now able to consider such a step because Germany has made huge strides in addressing the past, creating a culture of remembrance, he said.

“No amount of blood money or memorials will satisfy or suffice for some people but in terms of addressing its past and owning up to it and looking into things, it's done much that many other countries haven't,’’ said Newman.

Many of those seeking restoration of their citizenship don’t intend to live in Germany, but want the freedom to travel and work in EU nations.

Ben Lewis, a 49-year-old documentary filmmaker, is among those who would like to regain German citizenship.

Lewis, whose film and production company has worked for years on the continent, sees the potential of Brexit as an abomination, particularly the anti-immigrant sentiment that influenced many people to vote to leave.

“I just want to take a firm stance, a documented stance etched in acid on stone, that I object to Brexit," he said.

The decision for many might have been prompted by Brexit, but had been years in the making for some. Harding, for one, has long been coming to terms with his German past, a journey documented in part in his book, “The House by the Lake.’’

The way Harding sees it, Germany is now showing leadership by taking in over a million refugees.

As the result of the EU referendum became clear on the morning of June 24, Harding was on the phone to the German embassy to inquire about citizenship.

It’s logical, he says, for Jews to cling to the EU, which was created to build international links that would make another European war impossible.

“It was much less about saying goodbye to Britain than saying hello to Europe," he said.

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Thomas Harding, author, in the process of applying for restoration of German passport following Brexit vote:

"I think what has happened to me is I have become much more open towards Germany and at the same time following Brexit, I realised that there was going to be a very real loss. It was likely that me and my family would be unable to live and work in 27 countries in Europe and given the fact that I didn't have to give up my British passport, I didn't have to live in Germany by necessity or learn German, show I could speak German, it didn't seem like there was anything to lose and so for me, it was much less about saying goodbye to Britain than saying hello to Europe."

"Well, it was immediately after Brexit I thought the restoration of German citizenship was something that I wanted, because before Brexit I was part of the EU anyway. I was a European, I was deeply engaged in German culture from the age of 14 when I first started learning German, and in a way my whole life was orientated around creating links around rebuilding, if you like, as a Jew, links between myself, in Britain and German culture."

15. Cutaway hands

16. SOUNDBITE (English) Ben Lewis, documentary maker, in the process of applying for restoration of German passport following Brexit vote:

"I have many motivations for wanting to get German citizenship. I am thinking a lot about my child, I want him to have the same advantages in life that I had, you know, to be able to play on a European field. I've worked all over Europe in my life. I love Berlin - I could imagine living there. Perhaps that would happen in the future. And I just want to take a firm stance, a documented stance, something etched in acid on stone, that I object to Brexit."

"Well I think this is uppermost in the minds of the government that they are not going to walk away from any post Holocaust responsibilities and I think most people would look at what Germany has done since the Second World War in terms of addressing its past, the culture of remembrance, the educational resources, it's committed to teaching about the holocaust and see that what it has done has been leading the way and if you look at issues like restitution, archive, opening archives, documentation centres, even opening and creating museums, they are, they're leading the way in many respects in dealing with their history. It remains of course very subjective because no amount of blood, money or memorials will satisfy or suffice for some people but in terms of addressing its past and owning up to it and looking into things, it's done much that many other countries haven't."

LEAD IN:

UK wine industry experts are eyeing the upcoming vote on whether to leave the European Union with mixed feelings.

With producers and suppliers heavily reliant on pan-European trade, many remain unsure how Brexit will impact upon business.

STORY-LINE:

Sparkling wine on a summer's day in the English capital.

Glistening flutes and bottles in abundance, and a crowd of happy lunchtime drinkers add to the atmosphere of excitement and discovery, along with an impromptu game of ping pong.

It must be London Wine Week.

This is the third year of the festival, and this year is the most popular to date.

Festival director Emma Murphy says "It's the largest self-guided wine tasting that there is across London. It's kind of the only event of its kind that we have over here. So we work with 125 bars, restaurants, independent merchants who all get involved" .

But although these flutes of fizz are English sparkling wine, much of the wine the festival goers here are tasting is from EU member states such as France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Germany.

The June 23 referendum on whether to quit the European Union is fast approaching. So is this something the industry should fear?

"I wouldn't have said so," says Murphy.

"Wine trade has been going for long enough, even long before the euro, so I wouldn't have thought that would make much difference to be honest with you. Hopefully not anyway."

At the festival hub on London's Devonshire Square, there are pop-up bars featuring wines from across Europe.

These two young graduate trainees are enjoying wines from Portugal, and with their festival wristband, it costs them just five British Pounds for a flight of three.

Oscar Stenbom and Anna Rogers both agree that things may well be different if Britain leaves the union.

"If it's more expensive for them to send the wine here, if there's more tariffs, then yeah I guess it would be," says Anna, while Oscar is concerned about regulation and labelling:

"It would also be more difficult to know what you are drinking because there won't be as many restrictions on labelling the wine based on where it's actually from and the grape it's actually come from."

The New Street wine shop has been taken over by the wine festival. They sell wines from all over the world but today they are holding a tasting featuring wines from Ribera del Duero in northern Spain.

Most wine drinkers know about the region of Rioja, but Bettina Lemm is informing these festival goers about the region she represents.

"I think they (wines of Ribera del Duero) are still an emerging market, especially in the UK. The UK is an important market for Ribera del Duero, it's the seventh-largest export market for Ribera del Duero but I think that we're still establishing ourselves."

But if the UK is an important export market, is Brexit going to throw the proverbial spanner into the works? Lemm doesn't seem too worried "I think at the moment we're pretty confident as we've seen year to year that exports have grown. I think that's going to continue and I don't think it's a worry that we have at the moment," she says.

Wine used to have a rather old fashioned reputation and a comparatively elderly demographic, but this has changed enormously in recent years.

The prevalence of wine clubs popping up in the UK is an indicator of wine's increasing popularity.

Tom Harrow of Honest Grapes explains why this is "I think this is because people want to engage more with what's in the bottle. It's not just liquid, they want to know the stories behind it, they want to meet the people involved. And there's the sociable aspect, you know wine is fundamentally something which we do with other people," he says.

With 125 venues across the metropolis taking part in this festival, there's plenty of opportunity to enjoy it with friends.

But with such enthusiasm for wine spreading across the country, June 23 could bring disruption, according to Harrow "It's fair to say that we're a bit concerned about the possibilities of Brexit, I think the rising price of the euro against the pound will have a serious effect on quality wine. At the moment more than 60 percent of wine that comes into the UK is shipped in massive great tankers and bottled over here and that's not something we get involved with. But that becomes the only affordable way if the pound plummets against the euro. So I think that it won't be a good thing initially for the wine consumer because the prices of these small artisan wines will go up" .

However, the future might be bright in other, unexpected ways.

"All the English wine makers that I speak to say we are half a degree away from being a perfect climate for sparkling wines at least," says Harrow, and with apologies to climate change icon Al Gore, he adds that "global warming is a good thing for the UK sparkling wine trade."

Reports by the WSTA (Wine and Spirit Trade Association) suggest there is still some way to go as the UK comes in at number six on the list of sales of sparkling wine by origin - but it's rising year on year.

600 million bottles of wine are bottled in the UK.

This makes the UK wine market the sixth largest in the world, generating 173 billion British pounds of economic activity, according to the WSTA. 10 billion British pounds are made through sales.

Also being showcased here is one of the new kids on the alcohol block, Regal Rogue Vermouth.

According to brand founder Mark Ward, vermouth, by definition, is 75 percent wine. It must have wormwood and it must have an ABV (alcohol by volume) of 15 to 24 percent. These three things have to be in place for a producer to put vermouth on the bottle or it flouts recent EU regulations.

Ward, who was brought up in hospitality, began the project in Australia where he worked closely with top Australian chefs who introduced him to indigenous herbs and spices.

"It seemed like a really obvious thing to do, marrying the herbs and spices with this abundance of Australian wine to create a New World style of vermouth. And you know the tradition of vermouth is really led by the European markets. You know, Italian, French, now Spanish - but now there are vermouths coming out of America, the UK, Germany and obviously Australia. So pretty much anywhere where you find wine now, you will find a vermouth of some sort." he says.

Ward is attempting to educate the wine drinking market which, he believes, is mostly unaware of the fact that vermouth is fundamentally a wine.

This can only be helped by a new pop up for 2016, the Vermouth Bar.

The parent company of London Wine Week is the aptly named "Drink Up London", and they're already preparing for the 2017 event - Brexit or no Brexit.

"I wouldn't have said so," says Murphy.

"Wine trade has been going for long enough, even long before the euro, so I wouldn't have thought that would make much difference to be honest with you. Hopefully not anyway."

At the festival hub on London's Devonshire Square, there are pop-up bars featuring wines from across Europe.

These two young graduate trainees are enjoying wines from Portugal, and with their festival wristband, it costs them just five British Pounds for a flight of three.

Oscar Stenbom and Anna Rogers both agree that things may well be different if Britain leaves the union.

"If it's more expensive for them to send the wine here, if there's more tariffs, then yeah I guess it would be," says Anna, while Oscar is concerned about regulation and labelling:

"It would also be more difficult to know what you are drinking because there won't be as many restrictions on labelling the wine based on where it's actually from and the grape it's actually come from."

The New Street wine shop has been taken over by the wine festival. They sell wines from all over the world but today they are holding a tasting featuring wines from Ribera del Duero in northern Spain.

Most wine drinkers know about the region of Rioja, but Bettina Lemm is informing these festival goers about the region she represents.

"I think they (wines of Ribera del Duero) are still an emerging market, especially in the UK. The UK is an important market for Ribera del Duero, it's the seventh-largest export market for Ribera del Duero but I think that we're still establishing ourselves."

But if the UK is an important export market, is Brexit going to throw the proverbial spanner into the works? Lemm doesn't seem too worried "I think at the moment we're pretty confident as we've seen year to year that exports have grown. I think that's going to continue and I don't think it's a worry that we have at the moment," she says.

Wine used to have a rather old fashioned reputation and a comparatively elderly demographic, but this has changed enormously in recent years.

The prevalence of wine clubs popping up in the UK is an indicator of wine's increasing popularity.

Tom Harrow of Honest Grapes explains why this is "I think this is because people want to engage more with what's in the bottle. It's not just liquid, they want to know the stories behind it, they want to meet the people involved. And there's the sociable aspect, you know wine is fundamentally something which we do with other people," he says.

With 125 venues across the metropolis taking part in this festival, there's plenty of opportunity to enjoy it with friends.

But with such enthusiasm for wine spreading across the country, June 23 could bring disruption, according to Harrow "It's fair to say that we're a bit concerned about the possibilities of Brexit, I think the rising price of the euro against the pound will have a serious effect on quality wine. At the moment more than 60 percent of wine that comes into the UK is shipped in massive great tankers and bottled over here and that's not something we get involved with. But that becomes the only affordable way if the pound plummets against the euro. So I think that it won't be a good thing initially for the wine consumer because the prices of these small artisan wines will go up" .

However, the future might be bright in other, unexpected ways.

"All the English wine makers that I speak to say we are half a degree away from being a perfect climate for sparkling wines at least," says Harrow, and with apologies to climate change icon Al Gore, he adds that "global warming is a good thing for the UK sparkling wine trade."

Reports by the WSTA (Wine and Spirit Trade Association) suggest there is still some way to go as the UK comes in at number six on the list of sales of sparkling wine by origin - but it's rising year on year.

600 million bottles of wine are bottled in the UK.

This makes the UK wine market the sixth largest in the world, generating 173 billion British pounds of economic activity, according to the WSTA. 10 billion British pounds are made through sales.

Also being showcased here is one of the new kids on the alcohol block, Regal Rogue Vermouth.

According to brand founder Mark Ward, vermouth, by definition, is 75 percent wine. It must have wormwood and it must have an ABV (alcohol by volume) of 15 to 24 percent. These three things have to be in place for a producer to put vermouth on the bottle or it flouts recent EU regulations.

Ward, who was brought up in hospitality, began the project in Australia where he worked closely with top Australian chefs who introduced him to indigenous herbs and spices.

"It seemed like a really obvious thing to do, marrying the herbs and spices with this abundance of Australian wine to create a New World style of vermouth. And you know the tradition of vermouth is really led by the European markets. You know, Italian, French, now Spanish - but now there are vermouths coming out of America, the UK, Germany and obviously Australia. So pretty much anywhere where you find wine now, you will find a vermouth of some sort." he says.

Ward is attempting to educate the wine drinking market which, he believes, is mostly unaware of the fact that vermouth is fundamentally a wine.

This can only be helped by a new pop up for 2016, the Vermouth Bar.

LEAD IN:

UK wine industry experts are eyeing the upcoming vote on whether to leave the European Union with mixed feelings.

With producers and suppliers heavily reliant on pan-European trade, many remain unsure how Brexit will impact upon business.

STORY-LINE:

Sparkling wine on a summer's day in the English capital.

Glistening flutes and bottles in abundance, and a crowd of happy lunchtime drinkers add to the atmosphere of excitement and discovery, along with an impromptu game of ping pong.

It must be London Wine Week.

This is the third year of the festival, and this year is the most popular to date.

Festival director Emma Murphy says "It's the largest self-guided wine tasting that there is across London. It's kind of the only event of its kind that we have over here. So we work with 125 bars, restaurants, independent merchants who all get involved" .

But although these flutes of fizz are English sparkling wine, much of the wine the festival goers here are tasting is from EU member states such as France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Germany.

Now, of course, that's in direct contrast with the Labour Party's position, who want to be in a customs union, have free movement and pay whatever it takes to the EU. That would mean giving away control of our laws, our borders and our money, and that would be a betrayal of the British people."

But he talks about people not having a clue - well I'll tell you who hasn't got a clue about business and jobs. That's a Labour Party that wants to borrow 500 billion (pounds) and bankrupt Britain."

But we do want...we do have a care about the number of nurses and GPs (General Practitioner) that we have in the NHS (National Health Service). That's why we have set the highest levels of training - numbers of people in training - for both nurses and GPs. It's why we've significantly increased the opportunities, not just for people who are coming from the European Union to work in our National Health Service, but actually for those people here in this country who want to work in our NHS to get those training places and do the excellent job that we know they will do for patients in our National Health Service."

That's what he said. Yet, in a leaked letter to the Prime Minister, he wrote: 'Even if a hard border is reintroduced, we would expect to see 95 percent-plus of goods pass.' He's shouting at the moment he's obviously mixing up the border with the Camden-Islington border (referring to London boroughs). So, Mr. Speaker, can the Prime Minister confirm that she will not renege on commitments made in phase one (of Brexit talks) to keep an open border in Ireland."

The Foreign Secretary compared crossing the Irish border to going between Camden and Westminster. Frankly, you could not make this stuff up. This is a UK government that is prepared to put at jeopardy the Good Friday Agreement. Does the Prime Minister agree with the bumbling Foreign Secretary who is making the United Kingdom a laughing stock?"

STORYLINE:

British Prime Minister Theresa May faced numerous questions from the opposition on Wednesday regarding her government's approach to Brexit.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn opened the weekly Prime Minister's Questions session asking about the meaning of "ambitious, managed divergence" - the government's latest tagline for its Brexit negotiating stance.

May said it means "we will bring back control of our laws, our borders and our money," and accused Corbyn's Labour Party of having the opposite approach.

Corbyn announced earlier in the week that the party supported staying in a form of customs union with the EU post-Brexit.

May also stressed that the government was "committed" to maintaining no hard border between Northern Ireland and EU-member Ireland, despite criticism from opposition MPs over a leaked letter from Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson suggesting that was a possibility.

The Brexit negotiatior for the European Parliament said on Thursday that the UK deciding to leave the European Union had caused a renewal of interest in the European project.

Speaking at an event at the London School of Economics, Guy Verhofstadt said that the EU had gained popularity since the UK's referendum last year.

In a wide ranging speech on Brexit, Verhofstadt also put forward a vision of an ever closer union of remaining European Union states including the chance to elect politicians at a European level, as opposed to just nationally.

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Guy Verhofstadt, Brexit negotiatior for the European Parliament

"I have to tell you that I also know why Theresa May gave her speech in Florence. I presume that I know it. I think she chose Florence because Florentine politics in the 15th Century made her feel at home I think. You know, backstabbing, betrayal, noble families fighting for power and so, and so on, so I think that this is an environment that she recognised very well."

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Guy Verhofstadt, Brexit negotiatior for the European Parliament

"At the very beginning she referred to the renaissance as a period of history that defined what it meant to be European. Well that's exactly what the European Union is all about. The European Union, ladies and gentlemen is far more than a peace process after the Second World War, far more than the Franco-German reconciliation alone. The European Union is all about civilisation. It's in fact the political translation of that civilisation, of that European common culture and values. That is what this European Union is about."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Guy Verhofstadt, Brexit negotiatior for the European Parliament

"So criticising people for wanting to keep their European identity, accusing them of split allegiance is binary, is old fashioned. I think it's reductionist view on identity. I think it's perfectly possible but I look to the Mayor (of London, Sadiq Khan, in the audience), who has more experience, to be a Londoner, English, British, and European at the same time and there is no contradiction and that has nothing to do with split allegiance. So my message at the beginning of my intervention - watch out, beware of politicians who want to define your identity. The only reason they do so is to categorise people. To reduce you to your nationality, your ethnicity your religion and, split allegiance are two words that belong to the langauge of states that are in my opinion totalitarian, and not of democracies, not of democracies like Britain. In all democracies, people they find their own allegiance, define themselves how British, how European they feel and not the minister of foreign affairs, if I may say so (in reference to UK Foreign Minister Boris Johnson)."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Guy Verhofstadt, Brexit negotiatior for the European Parliament

"I have to tell you very honestly, and I've said this already a few times but i want to repeat it here in London, but I continue to believe that Brexit is a very negative project, that it is in fact a waste of time and energy. The destruction of a strong political bond that made people on both sides of the channel richer freer than ever before. But we are democrats. We have to respect the outcome of the referendum. And more over we have to implement it and that is exactly what Europe will do and also will establish a new relationship, a new relationship between the European Union and the UK that hopefully will be beneficial for everybody, for both. And if you ask me the question, is there really, really, really, nothing positive you can say about Brexit, well I can say yes, there is something positive. It has opened people's eyes on the continent."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Guy Verhofstadt, Brexit negotiatior for the European Parliament

"There has been a fundamental shift in the thinking about Europe, in the heads of a number of people and leaders in Europe. And that is not to look anymore to Europe and the European Union as a bunch of nation-states, but as a genuine political community, as a democracy on a continental scale, and two proposals that I already defended a number of years ago but nobody believed to be realistic - they were dreams that would never realise themselves - are proof of that. The first proposal is the call, we have seen that I hope, for transnational list, the idea to turn the European Union into one big constituency and to give to all citizens in Europe two ballots - one to choose their own representative of their country in the parliament and the second one to elect a number of politicians on the European level, what in my opinion would make European politics more democratic and what will lift in fact this European democracy on a continental scale, what we absolutely need."

Opposing groups of campaigners gathered outside the UK Supreme Court in London on Monday as judges started hearing the government's appeal against a ruling that Parliament must hold a vote before Britain's European Union exit negotiations can begin.

Prime Minister Theresa May plans to trigger two years of divorce talks before the end of March by invoking Article 50 of the EU's key treaty, using centuries-old government powers known as royal prerogative.

Those powers - traditionally held by the monarch but now used by politicians - allow the government to join or leave international treaties without consulting lawmakers.

Financial entrepreneur Gina Miller and hairdresser Deir Dos Santos went to court to argue that leaving the EU will remove some of their rights, including free movement within the 28-nation bloc, and that shouldn't be done without Parliament's approval.

Last month, three High Court judges agreed - but the government says they have misinterpreted the law.

The case has raised a constitutional quandary and inflamed the country's heated debate about Brexit.

November's ruling infuriated pro-Brexit campaigners, who saw the lawsuit as an attempt to block or delay Britain's EU exit.

Miller says she has received abuse and death threats.

She arrived at court Monday with her lawyers, greeted by cheers from pro-EU campaigners dressed as judges atop an open-topped double-decker bus.

A banner on the side read "In democracy, Leave hypocrisy."

"Nigel, where are you?" they sang mockingly, in reference to former UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage, a prominent voice in the leave campaign.

He had promised to lead a march on the Supreme Court to demand judges respect the will of the majority.

It was cancelled last week after organisers said there was a risk it could be hijacked by far-right extremists.

Two anti-EU protesters held placards, one calling the case an "establishment stitch-up."

Many legal experts say the government will likely lose its appeal and be forced to give Parliament a vote.

The European Parliament's Brexit negotiator, Guy Verhofstadt on Monday said Donald Trump was one of the three biggest threats to the EU, alongside Russian aggression and Islamist extremists.

His comments came in a speech at London's Chatham House think tank.

Verhofstadt also said European politicians were considering how to allow British citizens to maintain their links to the continent after Brexit.

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Guy Verhofstadt, EU Parliament's chief Brexit negotiator:

"The timetable is as follows - if we start by the end of May, the beginning of June the negotiations, take then 14 or 15 months, and then has to start the so-called consent procedure in the parliament. Because we need to be ready before the European elections of 2019. So that means that the real time frame - period for negotiation - is around 15 months. And we need to start on the consent procedure in a quite sensitive moment. It is a few months before the European elections, you know how politicians are sensitive, I should say, in a period just before elections. So it will be absolutely key that parliament is taken on board from day one of these negotiations, otherwise it will be very difficult to have a green light at the end of the consent procedure. So that is our role in this, all agreements need to be approved by parliament, if not then there is simply no agreement and there is an exit from Britain outside the European Union without any arrangement."

The head of the global economic forum OECD warned Britain that leaving the European Union would be tantamount to taxing its citizens - another in a growing cavalcade of cautionary advice ahead of a June 23 referendum on membership in the 28-nation bloc.

The warning by Angel Gurria, the secretary-general of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, came just days after expressions of concern by US President Barack Obama, the UK Treasury and the International Monetary Fund.

He described the notion that Britain might gain a better trade deal outside the union as somewhat fanciful.

Gurria's assessment follows that made by the UK Treasury last week, which determined that leaving the European Union would cost Britain the equivalent of 6,100 US dollars per household.

The estimate was based on an analysis of the long-term costs and benefits of EU membership and its alternatives.

The ever-more dire OECD judgment came the same day that authorities reported Britain's economy slowed in the first three months of the year amid concerns about the global economy as well as the vote on EU membership.

The UK economy grew by a quarter-on-quarter rate of 0.4 percent in January-March, down from 0.6 percent in the fourth quarter of last year, the Office for National Statistics said Wednesday.

Services, which comprise 78 percent of the British economy, continued to grow, expanding by 0.6 percent.

But other sectors declined, including construction, mining and manufacturing.

"Brexit would, rather like a tax, hit the wellbeing and the pockets of UK citizens. Unlike most taxes, however, this one will not finance the provision of public services or close the fiscal gap.

London Fashion Week has begun and this year designers are contending with the uncertainty of Brexit.

Some within the fashion and textile industries are worried the UK's decision to leave the European Union could pose restrictions on foreign factory workers and designers.

STORYLINE:

Brexit in the fashion industry - effects as yet unknown.

At this factory in London, they employ 11 different nationalities. But despite uncertainties over immigration post Brexit, this is a business also investing in home-grown talent and it's busier than ever.

They hardly import here so the fall in the pound hasn't had much effect, unlike larger fashion chains said to be more vulnerable.

Overall, the industry is nervous.

Statistics published last year by the British Fashion Council showed the sector had increased in value from 26 billion pounds in 2013 to 28 billion in 2016, an 8 percent jump.

Employment also rose by nearly 100 thousand.

The EU is the UK's largest export market for textiles and clothes and is reliant on highly skilled foreign workers.

There is a fear that future talent from abroad might be held back by any new immigration rules.

"We've been lobbying the government and also working with our colleagues at the British Fashion Council and others to try and make sure that any immigration system that is brought in, any sort of points based system, recognises that the UK should be open for all talent.

For the smaller British business, it's looking positive. But fashion is and always will be global. How that fits into Brexit is still unclear.

UK Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn on Wednesday accused Prime Minister Theresa May of pursuing a "shambolic Tory Brexit" to appease non-ministerial lawmakers in the ruling Conservative party.

The comments were made during the UK parliament's weekly Prime Minister's Questions session.

Citing a UK Treasury forecast that said the country's withdrawal from the European Union would cost its economy 66 billion pounds (88 billion US dollars), Corbyn asked May whether retaining Britain's access to the European single market was a "red line" the government would not cross in its exit negotiations.

May responded by saying the government would be "ambitious" in its attempts to secure the " maximum possible access to the European market," but that it was also clear that the result of June's referendum showed the public's desire to curb EU freedom of movement.

European Union officials have often declared that single market access is co-dependent on the freedom of movement of people, and the issue has been cited as a major stumbling block in the UK's future exit talks.

"The reality is that since the Brexit vote, the trade deficit is widening, growth forecasts are being downgraded, the value of the pound is down 16 percent," Corbyn said as he asked the government to give reassurance to Britain's businesses and workers.

Signs that Britain may be headed for a "hard Brexit" have alarmed some business leaders and contributed to a slide in the pound, which has lost almost a fifth of its value against the dollar since June 23.

Opposition lawmakers - and some from May's own Conservative Party - say Parliament should be given a role in approving Britain's terms.

The government says a vote in Parliament is not required.

But in a bid to head off a Conservative revolt during Wednesday's debate, May has promised that lawmakers will get a say, as long as it "does not undermine the negotiating position of the government."

We on these benches (Labour Members of Parliament) do respect the decision of the British people to leave the European Union, but this is a government that drew up no plans for Brexit, that now has no strategy for negotiating Brexit, and offers no clarity, no transparency - and no chance of scrutiny of the process for developing a strategy. The jobs and incomes of millions of our people are at stake, the pound is plummeting, businesses are worrying, and the government has no answers.

UK Brexit Secretary David Davis on Monday told parliament that the government will bring forward a "Great Repeal Bill" to scrap the European Communities Act, which brought the UK into the then-European Economic Community in 1972.

He said the European Communities Act will cease to exist the day the UK leaves the European Union. The bill will transfer all relevant EU law onto the UK statute books.

Davis also reiterated plans for Prime Minister Theresa May to trigger Article 50 of the European Union treaty, which formally begins exit negotiations, no later than March next year, without the prior approval of parliament.

In order to leave the EU, we will follow the process set out in Article 50 of the European Union treaty. The prime minister will invoke Article 50 no later than the end of March next year. That gives us the space required to do the necessary work to shape our negotiating strategy."

As UK's Prime Minister Theresa May wants to start Britain's divorce from the European Union (EU), eleven judges may stand in her way.

On Monday, May's government will ask the justices of the Supreme Court to overturn a ruling that Parliament must hold a vote before Britain's exit negotiations can begin, a case that has raised a constitutional quandary and inflamed the country's heated debate about Brexit.

May plans to trigger two years of divorce talks before the end of March 2017 by invoking Article 50 of the EU's key treaty, using centuries-old government powers known as royal prerogative.

The powers - traditionally held by the monarch but now used by politicians - enable decisions about joining or leaving international treaties to be made without a vote of Parliament.

A hairdresser and a financial entrepreneur, Deir Dos Santos and Gina Miller, went to court to argue that leaving the EU will remove some of their rights, including free movement within the bloc, and that shouldn't be done without Parliament's approval.

Last month, three High Court judges agreed, but the government says they have misinterpreted the law.

Government lawyers led by Attorney General Jeremy Wright will argue this week that the British people have spoken by voting in a June 23 referendum to leave the EU.

In written arguments published before Monday's hearing, government lawyers say the use of royal prerogative to start the talks is "constitutionally appropriate and lawful."

Many legal experts say the government will likely lose its appeal and be forced to give Parliament a vote, but the government was left with little choice than to proceed with the case anyway.

"It's politically problematic, I think, to be seen to not pursue all legal avenues to obstruct this attempt to, in the eyes of some critics, derail the Brexit process," says Jeff King, Professor of Law, University College London.

In a reflection of the constitutional importance of the case - which hinges on the balance of power between Parliament and the executive - all 11 Supreme Court judges will hear the appeal, the first time the full court has sat since it was founded in 2009.

The case is scheduled to last four days, with a ruling likely in January.

Complicating the picture are new participants including the Scottish government, which argues the Edinburgh-based Scottish Parliament should get a vote, too.

Britons voted by 52 to 48 percent on June 23 to leave the EU, but voters in Scotland strongly backed staying in, and the Scottish government says they should not be dragged out of the EU against their will.

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Jeff King, Professor of Law, University College London:

"Well, I think that there are two reasons probably (why the government appealed the High Court ruling that Parliament must hold a vote before negotiations of Britain's exit from the European Union can begin). The first is that it was very confident that it would win at the beginning, and I think it's reluctant to move from that position of confidence. And secondly, it's politically problematic, I think, to be seen to not pursue all legal avenues to obstruct this attempt to, in the eyes of some critics, derail the Brexit process."

"The reaction in some of the media (to the government's loss in the High Court), in particular in the Daily Mail and the Daily Express was, I would say, outrageous. It has been common to criticise judges in the past and I think criticism of judges is perfectly acceptable - they are public officials after all, but this type of language, 'Enemies of the people' (Daily Mail headline the day after the ruling) reminded me of the kinds of things we saw in Nazi Germany."

8. Cutaway of King

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Jeff King, Professor of Law, University College London:

"This is quintessentially a role for judges to play. It's an unclear legal position. The devolved governments don't agree, many members of parliament don't agree. There needs to be an authoritative ruling on what the role of these statutes is in the Brexit process, and that can only be given by a court."

10. Cutaway of King

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Jeff King, Professor of Law, University College London:

"I think that a government loss at the Supreme Court would not derail the Brexit process, but I also think it would be more than a mere speed bump because having to bring forward legislation to give notice would mean that there would be a participation of a much broader range of voices, both in Parliament and in the devolved legislatures and among the devolved governments. And when these voices are heard there is a political obligation of sorts to respond to these voices, to take them into account, to not proceed in a way that ignores them altogether, and I think that will make a difference to the outcome of the Brexit process, but I don't think it will stop it."

London - 24 January 2017

1. SOUNDBITE: (English) Sir Keir Starmer, Shadow Brexit secretary:

"Thank you Mr. Speaker and can I thank the Secretary of State (for Brexit David Davis) for early sight of his statement. This is a good day for parliamentary sovereignty. The Supreme Court has ruled that we shall have a say in this house on the Article 50 issue. Given the issues involved that is quite right and the Prime Minister was wrong to attempt to sideline parliament in this process. This bill is only to be introduced because the Prime Minister has been ordered to do so. Now I hope that in the aftermath there won't be the attacks on our judges that there were when the High Court gave its ruling. And it's the duty of all of us to defend them if they do and to do so quickly and I hope the Secretary of State will join me in that endeavour. The question now moves on to the proper role of parliament and the Supreme Court said nothing about the particular form of legislation, but on issues as important as this it would be wrong for the government to try to minimise the role of parliament or to seek to avoid amendments, and I ask the Secretary of State to confirm that he won't take that approach."

2. SOUNDBITE: (English) Sir Keir Starmer, Shadow Brexit secretary:

"This is a question of substance not process. Last week the Prime Minister committed herself to swapping the known benefits of single market membership and the customs union for the hoped for benefits of a free trade agreement with a fallback position of breaking our economic model. That is high risk and there are big gaps, inconsistencies and unanswered questions in the Prime Minister's approach. Mr Speaker if the Prime Minister fails in her endeavour the cost will be born by families, working people and communities throughout the UK. The stakes are high and the role of this house in holding the Prime Minister and the government to account throughout the process is crucial."

3. SOUNDBITE: (English) Sir Keir Starmer, Shadow Brexit secretary:

"Labour accepts and respects the referendum result and will not frustrate the process. But we will be seeking to lay amendments to a proper scrutiny and accountability throughout the process. That starts, Mr Speaker, with a White Paper or plan. A speech is not a White Paper or plan and we need something to hold the government to account throughout the process. You can't have a speech, you can't have a speech as the only basis for accountability for two years or more. That's the first step. Then there needs to be a reporting back procedure and there needs to be a meaningful vote at the end of the exercise. The government should welcome such scrutiny not try to resist it because the end result will be better if scrutinised than it would otherwise be. I hope the Secretary of State will confirm that we will not seek to minimize scrutiny and accountability. I'll leave others to say about the devolved administrations. I think whatever the court ruled it's important that those interests are taken properly into account. I end with this, Mr Speaker: What a waste of time and money."

STORYLINE:

Shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer told parliament that the government needs to produce a formal White Paper to set out a roadmap for exiting the European Union.

Starmer said the government couldn't rely on Prime Minister Theresa May's speech last week as the "only basis for accountability for two years or more".

The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that Britain's government must get parliamentary approval before starting the process of leaving the European Union, potentially delaying Prime Minister Theresa May's plans to trigger exit negotiations by the end of March.

The 8-3 ruling from the judges forces the government to put a bill before Parliament, giving pro-EU politicians a chance to soften the terms of Brexit - Britain's exit from the EU. "Leave" campaigners had objected, saying Parliament shouldn't have the power to overrule the electorate, which voted to leave the bloc in a June 23 referendum.

The Supreme Court's decision doesn't mean that Britain will remain in the EU - but it could delay the process.

The leader of the UK's anti-Brexit Liberal Democrats on Thursday hailed a by-election victory for his party, saying it showed that people did not vote for a "hard Brexit".

Tim Farron was speaking in Richmond, southwest London, after his party's candidate Sarah Olney won the vote.

Olney said that a range of issues were behind the vote for her party, including Brexit and opposition to the expansion of London Heathrow - the UK's biggest airport.

London - 2 December 2016

1. SOUNDBITE (English) Tim Farron, leader of British Liberal Democrats party:

"The people of Richmond Park yesterday voted to send a message to Theresa May (British prime minister) that the British people did not vote for a hard Brexit that will damage our economy and future generations and our standing in the world. They voted instead for a country that is open, tolerant and united. They voted for an excellent member of parliament who will be a voice for millions. Without wanting to make Sarah (Sarah Olney, newly elected Liberal Democrat lawmaker) again, her story is something which is exemplary. Eighteen months ago she was not a member of the party. Eighteen months ago she woke up after a devastating result where fear and division won and liberalism lost and she decided not to cry into her coffee but to roll up her sleeves and to make a difference. And there are millions of people out there who felt that same way after the general election last year, who felt the same way after the referendum in June, who maybe felt the same way the day after Donald Trump was elected president. Sarah is the reminder that populism does not necessarily have to win. These results - Brexit, Trump, the last general election - there was nothing inevitable about them. It is entirely possible for moderate, progressive people to win through and the people of Richmond Park, Sarah is the embodiment, shows that that is possible."

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Sarah Olney, newly elected UK lawmaker from Liberal Democrats party:

"All the main candidates are united in their opposition to Heathrow (Airport) expansion and I think what drove the voters to cast their votes yesterday, it would have been on a range of other issues and not just Heathrow. The mayoral election - it's not something that came up a huge amount on the doorstep actually. One or two people mentioned it. Certainly those who cared about that felt very strongly about it but I don't think it was, I don't think it was as big an issue as Brexit."
