British EU exit: no 10 to push to vote again on Boris Johnson's offer

Jul 12,2023 12:10 pm

MPs have to say Will be given, "a straight up-and-down vote" on the PM's Brexit offer later, Not 10, But it is not clear whether the speaker allow it to be.

John Bercow is expected to be his decision, against 15:30 BST.

to bring The watch is trying to offer to The Commons for a vote on Saturday , But his strategy was meant secured a setback at the MPs, instead of the delay of the approval.

The speaker has been excluded, time and again voices back to the same thing More Than once.

the BBC's assistant political editor Norman Smith said Mr Bercow saw set so that the PM asked s.

the Following Saturday , special seats, and under the Benn Action, Boris Johnson was forced to send a letter asking the EU for an extension of the Brexit Today on 31. October - though he didn't even sign it.

Brexit legislation

Mr Johnson has reached a New Deal with the EU last week, But it must be approved by the British Parliament - he wants to say to the members, is a clear "Yes" or "no" on Monday afternoon.

the legislation for the implementation of Brexit - called the cancellation of the contract account (MCA) - Will be introduced on Monday, and must, begin The Process of parliamentary scrutiny.

Labour's shadow Brexit Secretary Keir Starmer has said that his party Will push for Changes when The Bill is brought to the Parliament , for example, called for a UK-wide customs Union with the EU and the internal market, aligning, and moving backwards, to Deal to a referendum.

The DUP has support so far refused to Mr. Johnson's offer and work is trying to achieve, But the Northern Ireland party's chief whip, Jim Shannon , told Sky News that a customs Union was, "something we do not support and do not support".

He said The Party was meeting its strategy, But added: "I believe that the attitude we have when we see later, the formulation. "

the Prime Minister , The speaker has confirmed, said the government's opposition to a customs Union and a referendum: "these Two have been matched on A Number of occasions in The House of Commons, and neither have been successful. "

Boris Johnson , Brexit developed Deal

The Prime Minister the offer of trenches of the backstop - the controversial "insurance" to prevent a return to a physical control on the Irish border.

Instead, it is, in fact, draw a new customs border in the Irish Sea , since the goods then have to pay the trip to Ireland to a tax.

Brexit Secretary Steve Barclay told the Lords Committee Northern Irish companies would also have to complete export declarations, You Will send goods to the UK mainland.

The EU is now considering a response to the British request for a delay, But BBC Brussels reporter Adam Fleming , said it was "virtually impossible" for the members to approve The Deal in the European Parliament meeting This Week , as You would not sign it off until all the necessary steps had been taken in the British Parliament .

He said, the Strasbourg Parliament Will hold a special meeting next week for approval of The Deal could hold, But it was more likely, would You take it at the next scheduled meeting, on 13. November - this means that an extension would be necessary.

'Content'

On Saturday , instead of answering the question, "do You support The Deal or not?" MPs effectively chose to rephrase the question, instead of back the so-called Letwin change, which delays the approval for The Deal until the WAB is passed.

Chief Secretary to the Treasury Rishi Sunak said he "very much hope that" the speaker would allow the government a Second Chance to give the MPs, a simple "Yes" or "no".

"What of Oliver Letwin change does not mean that the Parliament would give its Express positive support for The Deal ," Mr Sunak BBC Radio 4 told the Today programme.

"It was an observation that happened on The Deal , and I think what people need is a substantive vote. "

the Former Conservative minister, now independent MP, Justine Greening said that the right procedures are followed had to go through the Parliament , for the WAB to be a "major statement" be given sufficiently examined.

"We all know that a rushed law is bad law, that is the political rewiring Our Country and it must be done correctly, she told the BBC.

But Mr Sunak said: "the substance was taken to the redemption Agreement , to the public for a very long time, the bits that have Changed - the backstop and the political Declaration were published last week.

"the Parliament has shown time and Time Again . a way to move very quickly, if it wants to. We sit up late sitting, on the weekend. And of course that is what we should do. "

A straight vote on The Deal Today , seems unlikely, since the government Will not pull the vote on Saturday - she went away from him. So, theoretically, The Commons has a look at the output, and it can not be asked, a different Today - let's see.

The government is desperate to have a vote on all this stuff as quickly as possible to show momentum before in the days of the examination, where the deputies Will try the Changes on the offer.

This is not easy, because they are worried about losing more votes, this government has hardly any won - But because, if MPs do not make any major Changes in the legislation, then it could mean, watch back in the EU and ask for another offer - You can Not imagine, how much Will 10.

It is also, of course, eats time, it's harder and harder as The Hours pass, the government Will keep the 31 October deadline Still not impossible, But increasingly unlikely.

If the WAB do not always or Changed , there is very little chance that the government Will be able to avoid delay, so the smart bet is that No 10 You just go back to pushing very hard for a choice.

if a delay is agreed, it Will be difficult for opposition parties to lock - many individual MPs don't want it, But the government is ready to hold a vote of no confidence in self, or go for a simple majority, if You can't get it through under the fixed-term parliaments Act by a two-thirds bar.

What is the rescission of the contract invoice is?

the UK Will have to Brexit , a law on the implementation of the redemption Agreement , which is part of the PM's Deal , the country from the EU into UK law.

It is to be secured, the support of a majority of the deputies and of peers in The House of Lords. And a vote for the Brexit offer itself is not a guarantee of a choice, for legislation necessary to implement it.

The Bill gives legal effect to the withdrawal Deal , as well as an agreed transitional period, and meets the requirements of the rights of EU citizens in the UK after Brexit . It Will also allow to make the Minister "divorce" payments to the EU in the framework of the current Deals.

MPs Will be able to participate in the voting on amendments, modifications, or add-ons on The Bill .

If the government does not pass The Bill by the Parliament , the Standard legal position is that the United Kingdom ratified the business, and so would leave on the 31 can get. October without an offer. However, this is dependent on no extension beyond that date has already been agreed with the EU.

Why You ask the PM for an extension to?

Gone are the Letwin change meant the Benn Act was Triggered , because the European Parliament had not approved, a Deal - or not approved-offer - by law 19. October Date.

this meant That Mr Johnson had to send a renewal request to Brussels, which he did, But left it unsigned, and accompanied it with a second, signed letter that said he believed a delay would be a mistake.

On Sunday, the Minister insisted that the believed government, it had obligated handed enough support in The House of Commons to the business, and remained to a 31. October Departure.

The Cabinet Office , meanwhile, has dispatched his contingency plan hand a no-Deal -UK to exit the EU - because it said there was no guarantee that the EU would grant a reasonable period of grace.

What is happening in the courts?

on whether the Prime Minister fully met Benn Act.

"Court of Session" was originally asked to draw earlier this month in consideration nobile officium "powers to request a Brexit extension on the Prime Minister 's name-But the judge delayed", resulting in a judgment, until the political situation became clearer.

The British government has argued that it fulfilled its legal obligations, But on Monday, Lord Carloway, said the case should be continued until these obligations had been fully complied with.
