Can she not invoke the Parliament Act if it is clear in the Commons?
As you say, unelected chamber and all that.

I doubt very much she would win either the commons on the Lords. Remember, she was a stayer herself along with loads of other Tories. She simply wont have the majority.

The Scotland and N.Ireland issue is a potential problem though, I'm more concerned about how she's going to deal with that.
Could get messy.
London finance and the soft fruit sector in south east England will get deals...Everyone alse can go # themselves.
Then hold a secound referedum and piss off and hide under mad merkals skirts
Suits me. When you have lost your human rights and every working right your forefathers fought for we'll be wishing you all the best. Enjoy what's coming to you. You deserve it.
I think like many Scots, you underestimate us Brits. We won't lie down and allow any of that to happen. Sure they can try, but we are many, they are few.
We've told the E.U we do not like the direction they were heading, we will certainly tell any U.K Government where they can get off if they try anything like what you are suggesting.

She is also giving the house of commons and the house of lords a vote on the deal, which I'm not happy about.
I'm not too worried about the common's, however the HoL's may well reject the deal as they are not elected or accountable to the public!

It's a legal requirement that she'd tried to dodge. Hopefully Parliament manage to get a bit of sense or perspective into Brexit as there's no mandate for a hard brexit and so far the plans seem to be full of fluff or little england/the EU is sunk without us jibberish instead of substance or strategy.

On the Scots. Current polls suggest that indyref2 would not be successful, so the divisive nationalists will just snipe from the side-lines. They won’t risk another defeat and quite frankly the nationalists probably don’t want independence anyway, considering parlous state of the Scottish economy and the dependence on trade with the UK. The deals with Eire will satiate the Northern Irish, so that’ll be sorted.

Yeah, even me and Solo are playing nice together in this thread.

Ah the continuing UK would strike a deal with Scotland for sure. Possible hard border though, but I'll know a few blokes who'll be smuggling whisky so I don't give a # really.
Extra work for fence erectors and border force so all good really
