But a workaround has been found as the two previous votes were on the draft Withdrawal Agreement and the Political Declaration on the Future Relationship; tomorrow’s vote will only be on the Withdrawal Agreement.One MP pointed out that the Withdrawal Agreement and the Political Declaration were “two horns on a goat’s head” and cannot be separated. Bercow replied that it was a political issue, but not an issue for him as chair.
The House of Commons leader Andrea Leadsom said earlier today that the government was trying to secure permission for a third vote from Speaker of the House John Bercow. The proposals with the most support were a UK-wide customs union with the EU and a second referendum. “I won’t – I hear what you are saying,” May told Tory backbenchers at a meeting of the 1922 Committee.
The DUP said the backstop plan in the deal to keep open the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic poses an “unacceptable threat” to the United Kingdom.The opposition Labour and Scottish National parties are also against the deal.Britain was due to officially leave the EU tomorrow. The European Council last week agreed to delay Brexit until 22 May if MPs back May’s deal this week.
