«Breaking News» Bercow kills off May's last lifeline by ignoring amendment

John Bercow killed off Theresa May's last lifeline in last night's vote by ignoring an amendment seen as the PM's best hope of avoiding catastrophe.

He ignored a proposal from Tory MP Andrew Murrison which would have approved the deal subject to further negotiation to get an expiry date on the Irish border backstop.

The plan was unlikely to carry last night but it was thought No 10 wanted to see a strong vote in favour of it to demonstrate to Brussels what was needed to win a second clash. 

Mr Bercow also rejected amendments from John Mann and Hugo Swire that ministers had signalled they would accept.

The Speaker has instead chosen four amendments - including a wrecking plan from Jeremy Corbyn - highly unlikely to win broad support in the Commons.

It meant Mrs May was likely to confront a showdown vote on her deal alone at around 8pm last night with no concessions at all, setting the stage for the biggest loss in history.

The worst ever defeat for a PM in the Commons was a majority of 166 against Ramsey MacDonald in 1924.

The amendments selected are: 

• Amendment A: Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's amendment rejects the deal and says no deal is also unacceptable. It says the deal should include a permanent UK-EU customs union, alongside protections for workers' rights and the environment.


• Amendment K: SNP leader Ian Blackford's amendment rejects the deal and calls for Article 50 to be extended to avoid a no deal Brexit and notes that the UK could choose to cancel Brexit altogether.


• Amendment B: Tory MP Sir Edward Leigh's amendment would approve the deal but warn the EU making the backstop permanent would breach the Vienna Convention and obliges the UK to scrap the divorce treaty in 2022 if the backstop is still in force.


• Amendment F: Tory MP John Baron's amendment approves the deal but only subject to the EU agreeing to give the UK a unilateral way of ending the Irish border backstop.

Votes began at 7pm last night, after the Prime Minister made the final speech of a five day debate. 

Each 'division' of the Commons takes around 15 minutes as MPs have to physically walk through the aye and no lobbies to cast their vote. 

The first vote was on Mr Corbyn's amendment, followed by Mr Blackford, Sir Edward's and then Mr Baron's. 

The final vote was on the main motion - with whatever amendments have been agreed attached to it.

How will MPs make their decision on May's Brexit deal and what will they vote on?

MPs will finally give their verdict on the Brexit deal tomorrow night - but how do they vote and what will they vote on? 

What will MPs vote on?  

MPs will be asked to approve or reject Theresa May's Brexit deal.

The deal is contained in two documents, the Withdrawal Agreement, which is a treaty, and the Future Framework, which is a political statement agreed between the UK and EU. 

But before the main vote, MPs will be asked to say yes or no to a raft of amendments. These are re-writes of the main Brexit deal motion that have been tabled by backbench MPs and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

How many amendments will be voted on? 

Commons Speaker John Bercow has selected four amendments from more than a dozen on the order paper.  

What do the main amendments say? 

Amendment A: Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's amendment rejects the deal and says no deal is also unacceptable. It says the deal should include a permanent UK-EU customs union, alongside protections for workers' rights and the environment.

Amendment K: SNP leader Ian Blackford's amendment rejects the deal and calls for Article 50 to be extended to avoid a no deal Brexit and notes that the UK could choose to cancel Brexit altogether.

Amendment B: Tory MP Sir Edward Leigh's amendment would approve the deal but warn the EU making the backstop permanent would breach the Vienna Convention and obliges the UK to scrap the divorce treaty in 2022 if the backstop is still in force.

Amendment F: Tory MP John Baron's amendment approves the deal but only subject to the EU agreeing to give the UK a unilateral way of ending the Irish border backstop.

When will the vote happen? 

Votes will begin at 7pm tonight, after the Prime Minister makes the final speech of the five day debate. 

Each 'division' of the Commons takes around 15 minutes as MPs have to physically walk through the aye and no lobbies to cast their vote.

This means the main vote will happen at around 8pm and the final score will be known around 8.15pm.   

Which order will the votes happen? 

The first vote will be on Mr Corbyn's amendment, followed by Mr Blackford, Sir Edward's and then Mr Baron's. 

The final vote will be on the main motion - with whatever amendments have been agreed attached to it. 

Can voting end early? 

If any of the amendments are accepted, those following it automatically fail. There will be then be a final vote on the motion as amended - but this could be nodded through by MPs.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
