House of Commons Speaker Bercow ruled Monday that the government could not ask lawmakers to vote again on the Brexit deal, in the latest blow to PM Johnson.
The government will now attempt to bring forward the withdrawal agreement bill, legislation needed to bring the E.U. divorce deal into U.K. law.
The prime minister was ambushed by rebel lawmakers who forced the government to ask Europe for another extension — something Johnson once vowed he’d rather be “dead in a ditch” than do.but in a move that highlights the strained norms of British statecraft, he did not sign it and immediately sent a second saying he doesn’t really want an extension.
“We seem to have the numbers in the House of Commons, why hasn’t Parliament pushed this through? That’s what we’re going to do next week,” Foreign Secretary Dominc Raab told the BBC on Sunday.
