Boris Johnson’s Brexit pledge dealt hammer blow as MPs reject timetable plan

MPs were not prepared to accept the tight timetable demanded by the Government in a bid to ensure there was no further delay to Brexit.

Boris Johnson’s “do or die” pledge to deliver Brexit on October 31 has been dealt a hammer blow after MPs voted to reject his plan to force it through the Commons in just three days.

The House voted by 322 to 308 against the programme motion which would have required the Withdrawal Agreement Bill (WAB) to clear all its Commons stages by the end of Thursday.

Just minutes earlier MPs had voted by 329 votes to 299, majority 30, to approve the Bill in principle – the first time the Commons has been prepared to back any Brexit deal put before it.

However they were not prepared to accept the tight timetable demanded by the Government in a bid to ensure there was no further delay to Britain’s departure from the EU.

Earlier, Mr Johnson warned he would pull the whole Bill and go for a general election if they rejected his timetable and decided to “delay everything until January or even longer”.

Mr Johnson has won just two of 12 votes in Parliament since he became Prime Minister in July.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
