Once the article has been triggered Britain will officially be leaving the EU in 2019. The whole process will take 2 years, but many argue that it could even take longer. As the terms of exit will have to be negotiated between 27 other counter parts. But the real problems start once we officially leave the EU. The UK has to renegotiate their trading relationship with the EU and it is still unclear whether Europe and EU nationals will be allowed to live in the UK. LORDS REJECT BREXIT BILL ONCE MORE The UK's Carbon Emissions have fallen 7,000 railway stations in India to be run on solar power Iceland becomes first country to enforce equal pay nationally A report from Carbon Brief shows that the UK'S emissions have gone down by 5.8% in 2016. This means that there was a staggering 52% drop in coal use, so who knows how much further it could go down in 2017. #KeepItGreen On International Women's day Iceland be- came the first country to enforce equal pay. Companies must prove that they pay all of their employees the same. Regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexuality or nationality. This means that every company employing more than 25 staff members has to become certi- fied as an equal pay employer. India's Finance Minister Arun Jaitley plans to reduce India's dependence on fossil fuels, by powering 7,000 railway stations on solar ener- gy. The government has already started using the renewable energy in 300 different stations. For a second time, the House of Lords have rejected Theresa May's Brexit Bill. Article 50 to be triggered on 29th of March. The government can only trigger Article 50 and begin Brexit once this bill has been passed. The House of Commons, made up of the MPs that the public elect every few years, has once again been delayed by the House of Lords, made up of unelected peers who are members for life. For a bill to be made law, it has to be approved by the House of Commons, then approved by the House of Lords, and then finally given Royal Assent by the Queen. The Queen has to sign every law given to her, but the House of Lords can reject bills and send them back to the House of Commons with amendments. Regardless of what you think about Brexit, it is unbelievable that our elected politicians can be stopped by a group of people nobody elected. The House of Lords includes hereditary peers who get to be there because their father was, and people who've been rewarded a peerage for bringing in money into the UK. Most ridiculously, The House also includes 26 Bishops. If anything good comes out of this legal battle, it might be to show what an ancient, unnecessary mess the House of Lords is.
