Welcome to F.T. Politics, a weekly podcast on British politics from the Financial Times.

I'm Sebastian Payne and in this week's episode we'll be discussing the battle for triggering Article 50

and how the Labour Party is finally walking up to its role in the Brexit debate.

I'm delighted to be joined by George Parker, the F.T.'s political editor, James Blitz are White or editor, plus Marcus Roberts from

Hugo and political commentator Aisha Hasarika.

Thank you all for joining.

Parliament returned after party conference season this week and all eyes were on Brexit once more.

Theresa May's government has been keen to trigger the Article 50 divorce proceedings without

giving Parliament too much of a say in the process, but it hasn't quite gone to plan.

Labour Party has forced a debate on Wednesday about Article 50 but crucially the

vote isn't binding. Plus a high-core challenge has begun to force Parliament to give its stamp approval on the process.

George Parker, one of the things I found most odd about this whole debate is that sovereignty was such a big part of the EU referendum, taking back control and repowering

Parliament. Yet there's many Brexit who actually don't want Parliament to do that.

They just want to get on with it and trigger Article 50 without giving an

MPs to say.

Why?
