Theresa May will not be able to hold another vote on her next Brexit deal if it is essentially the same as the deal MPs have already overwhelmingly rejected twice.
House of Commons Speaker John Bercow has said unless the Prime Minister offers a ‘substantially different’ withdrawal agreement on Brexit he may not hold a third ‘meaningful vote’.To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that Bercow, who ultimately decides whether the government can ask parliament again to pass May’s deal to leave the European Union, said ministers could not submit the same proposition again.‘If the Government wishes to bring forward a new proposition that is neither the same, nor substantially the same as that disposed of by the house on the 12 March, this would be entirely in order,’ Bercow told the House.
He added: ‘What the Government cannot legitimately do, is to resubmit the same proposition’ which was rejected by 149 votes when it went to MPs last week. ‘This is not my last word, it is simply meant to indicate the test which the Government must meet in order to hold a legitimate third vote in this parliamentary session,’ he said.

Inside Politics: Is Brexit vote third time lucky for Theresa May?THERESA May heads to Brussels next week to take what should have been her final walk along the red carpet into the EU Council's Europa Building, at least as a leader of one of the bloc's member states. Even if she won, how could she possibly continue leading the next phase of the negotiations? I expect the hard Brexiteers will want to take over. Not looking forward to that.
