UK government to hold new vote on Brexit

The deputies will be asked to vote again on the Brexit Friday, but deputies were informed only of the part of the deal negotiated with the EU.

They will vote on the retraction agreement covering the "divorce bill", the rights of citizens and the controversial "support" Irish.

But the political declaration covering future relations of the United Kingdom with the EU will not be put to the vote.

If members support it, the government announces that the UK will leave the EU on 22 May.

Speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow said it was a "new" motion and complied with his decision not to allow a third "vote" significant "on" substantially the same "motion that MPs had already twice rejected by historical margins.

The Leader of the House of Commons, Andrea Leadsom, told MEPs that the European Council would only agree to extend Article 50 – postpone Brexit – until May 22, if MEPs approve withdrawal agreement Friday at 23:00 GMT.

"It is therefore crucial that we make every effort to give effect to the Council's decision and that tomorrow's motion gives Parliament the opportunity to obtain this extension," she said.

"I think we can all agree that we do not want to be in the situation of asking for another extension and facing the potential requirement to participate in the European Parliament elections."

But she faced the anger of the deputies. Labor's Mary Creagh described the event as "an extraordinary and unprecedented reversal of the commitments that have been made, and we should have a voice in both cases together."

Conservative Brexiteer Mark Francois said that it was "absolutely clear" that the government's decision amounted to a "decision in principle" on the approval of the withdrawal agreement by the House.
