      Labour still have an enormous majority, and there’s no reason to think the party would revolt over this - it was a manifesto pledge.

          For what it is worth I don’t see him ever actually vetoing a parliament decision. Him being able to is basically a technicality and more trouble than it’s actually worth since 1, Labour still have a supermajority within parliament and 2, it’d lead to a constitutional crisis. There is a reason no monarch has actually done it in more than 300 years.
