House of Commons Speaker John Bercow has delivered a blow to PM Theresa May, announcing that he will block a third meaningful vote on her Brexit deal unless her government makes “substantial” changes.
Addressing MPs in parliament, Bercow referenced Eksine May, the parliamentary procedure and constitutional conventions rulebook, on the subject of identical motions being put to the House.
It comes as various media report that the Tory government could put forward May’s Brexit deal to a vote for a third time – with no changes.
