MPs reject Brexit bill timetable – they’re not worried about Johnson calling an election

Boris Johnson: He may have just realised he has miscalculated.

What did I tell you?

MPs have rejected a proposal to examine Boris Johnson’s Brexit bill in the Commons in three days.

The Commons supported the Withdrawal Agreement Bill earlier, but have now voted against the short timetable.

Earlier, the PM warned he would seek an election if MPs dismissed the plan and the EU granted an extension to 31 October Brexit deadline.

After the vote, he told the Commons he would “pause” the legislation until the EU had “stated their intentions”.

    The bill is now in Limbo so he had no other option but to call a pause as it would have been contrary to the parliamentary process. The Leader will return to the House and presumably present a new timetable for Scrutiny and then Third reading. The timetable was defeated but not the Withdrawal Bill.

      Did anybody say the Bill was defeated? I don’t think so. But we did say it wasn’t passed, and Parliament hasn’t approved the deal.
