The Labour Party is in a "difficult position" over voting to trigger Article 50, said the Shadow Minister for Exiting the European Union, Jenny Chapman, as the party has "supporters, members, voters on both sides of this debate". She was speaking on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Four's Westminster Hour ahead of the Supreme Court's judgement on parliament's say in triggering Article 50. "Whipping is an interesting concept", she said. It is "very difficult for colleagues who have seats that voted strongly to remain", and for MPs who "feel passionately that we ought to remain" so to expect them to vote to trigger Article 50 is "a big ask".
