I still think despite the Government winning last night, I don't think Mrs May can afford to celebrate just yet.
I don't think the Lords will be an easy ride (with or without amendments) I'm sure there could be enough uneasy voices on both sides of the Upper House to defeat it and send it back to the Commons and I still think there will be more challenges to it in the Supreme courts before Article 50 is finally triggered and I reckon it won't be done by end of March as she wanted.
I think it could be possibly end of April or beginning of May or even early June before she can finally trigger it. The Lords are notorious for rejecting Bills of this nature as I bet many see it as too much of conflict of interest for them and most likely abstain and I would be very surprised if it got through there without a hiccup or two
