Boris Johnson has revised Theresa May's Brexit deal with the EU. Lawmakers in the U.K. will now vote on his proposals in a special sitting on Saturday.
However, momentum toward a second referendum motion hit the buffers Friday morning after opposition lawmaker and Shadow Finance Minister John McDonnell told BBC radio that Saturday’s vote should be primarily about voting against Johnson’s deal.
Richard Mylles, a political analyst for Absolute Strategy Research, told CNBC’s Steve Sedgwick Friday that the numbers in Parliament don’t look like they’ll be enough to push for a second referendum at this stage. After Thursday's vote, a number of different amendments can now be proposed but only those selected by Speaker of the House John Bercow will be voted on.
