here is the bbc‘s rob watson. the uk government goes about it. here is the bbc's rob watson.ants to do is overturn this completely and you can understand why. potentially this is a hugely significant development because what the house of lords have said is basically we want to have the final say, parliament, said is basically we want to have the finalsay, parliament, on britain's potential deal or a lack ofa britain's potential deal or a lack of a deal with the european union, and that is precisely not what theresa may wanted. she said parliament can have a vote on the deal that i do with the eu but it will be a take it or leave it basis. you either like the deal or reject it but if you reject it we just leave the european union without a deal but we still leave what this potentially does is to say no, parliament has the last word. one half of parliament, the house of lords, isn't elected and one half is. surely if it comes to it the commons will have the extra power on this issue. i guess you are probably right. if i had to bet on it i would say the government will probably
