• The Brexit bill has returned to the House of Commons where Members of Parliament are rushing to pass it before the UK's deadline of leaving the EU on January 31.
• Once passed Britain will immediately face a series of new Brexit cliff-edges as it battles to secure a new trade deal with the EU before the end of the Brexit transition period in December. 
• The bill will help define Britain's future for decades but will likely pass in short order with few significant amendments.
• Experts warn that the bill could store up problems for Britain's future.
