Boris Johnson suffered yet another Brexit setback as UK lawmakers voted to delay approval of the Prime Minister's departure deal until Parliament passes the legislation required to enact it.

Johnson must now ask the EU for an extension to the Brexit process until the end of January, an outcome he has been determined to avoid since he returned in triumph with a new deal earlier this week.

Oliver Letwin, the MP who proposed the plan, said it was an"insurance policy" to ensure Britain would not"crash out" of the European Union without a deal on October 31. It passed by 322 to 306. In the first weekend sitting of Parliament for 37 years, Johnson had implored MPs from all sides of the House of Commons to back the deal and support a"shared sense of destiny."
