FORMER Home Secretary Lord Blunkett has pleaded with other members of the House of Lords not to block Brexit in any way.

The Remain-backing politician said the current political climate was in an "extraordinarily delicate situation" and there was a risk of a backlash if Peers tried to stop Britain from leaving the EU.

He said it would be "foolish in the extreme" for Peers in the Upper Chamber to vote down a bill to trigger Article 50.

David Davis has said the Government will bring forward a Brexit Bill "within days" after yesterday's Supreme Court hearing ordered Theresa May to put a Bill through both Houses before it could formally start Brexit talks.

Yesterday Lord Blunkett appealed to other members of the Lords not to obstruct the process.

He said: "Would it not be foolish in the extreme if this House placed itself, as an unelected body, in confrontation with the bulk of the British people, many of whom will have voted to stay in the European Union but would find it inexplicable if this House blocked in any way the forthcoming single-clause bill to implement and allow the Government to implement Article 50.

Lord Blunkett continued: "It would be unthinkable to do so, and I just appeal to your lordships’ House not to place itself in confrontation with the British people."

Former Tory Defence Minister Lord Hamilton backed him up, and warned that people could "take to the streets and probably start breaking things" if Parliament decided that the outcome of the EU referendum was only advisory.

Lord Spicer added that it would be "unthinkable" for peers to "frustrate the will of the people".

But there are fears that the un-elected House of Lords - which contains more Labour and Lib Dem members than the Commons - may seek to delay the Brexit process by adding amendments to the legislation.

SNP, Lib Dem and Labour MPs have also said that they will tack additions to any Bill in the Commons - including proposals to keep Britain in the Single Market.

There have also been calls to scrap the House of Lords if they try to thwart a Brexit Bill - or minister could choose to pack the chamber with Tory peers to help get future legislation through.

A Brexit Bill could be brought to Parliament as early as tomorrow.
