A number of Conservative, Labour and SDLP MPs in the UK have announced they are prepared to vote against triggering Article 50. Lib Dem leader Tim Farron said his party would oppose it unless they were promised a second Brexit referendum; similarly, several Labour MPs are willing to vote against it. With the support of Liberal Democrat MPs and the support or abstention of most Labour MPs, the bill is most likely set to pass through the Commons, although opposition of some MPs is likely to embolden critics in the House of Lords.
