MPs have voted overwhelmingly to reject Theresa May’s Brexit deal

Charles Walker, vice-chairman of the 1922 Committee of backbench Tory MPs, had warned that defeat in the second “meaningful vote” on the withdrawal agreement on Tuesday evening would lead to a general election.Mr Walker told BBC Radio 4’s World At One: “If it doesn’t go through tonight, as sure as night follows day, there will be a general election within a matter of days or weeks.

On a day of high drama in Westminster, the cabinet gave its backing to the package at its weekly meeting chaired by the prime minister at 10 Downing Street. But he warned that the question of whether a satisfactory agreement on a future UK/EU relationship can be reached remains “a political judgment”.

“They fail to fulfil the commitment made by government to the House in response to the Brady amendment ‘to obtain legally binding changes to the withdrawal agreement’.”said on Tuesday morning the agreement reached between the UK and the EU on Monday night is “positive” and “does not undermine the backstop”.“I hope and trust that the withdrawal agreement will now be endorsed by the House of Commons”, Mr Varadkar told reporters at an 8am press conference in Government Buildings.

🎼U gotta know when to fold, know when to hold them, know when to walk ,when the dealings done🎼 🎼Seriously Teresa May MP you have some tenacity and staying power.👏

Parliament is stamping its foot in the face of 27 countries demanding changes after being told time & again that no changes will be made. The foot stomping will continue with the same result. Good job people, the foot stomping will persuade the EU to meet your demands, I’m sure.
