10:34Now PlayingBoris Johnson was thwarted in his attempt to put his Brexit deal to a fresh vote in Parliament after suffering a defeat for his strategy on Saturday. House of Commons Speaker John Bercow rejected the government’s bid to try again to win approval in Parliament for the exit agreement the prime minister secured last week in Brussels.
Johnson is now expected to push ahead with fast-tracking the detailed legislation to implement his exit agreement as he battles to deliver Brexit before the Oct. 31 deadline.
Commons Speaker John Bercow threw another obstacle in Johnson’s way, rejecting the prime minister’s attempt to put his Brexit deal to another vote, just two days after MPs debated it.
Bercow cited a parliamentary rule dating back to 1604 under which the government cannot repeatedly ask Parliament to vote on the exact same motion.
"It is clear that the motions are in substance the same," Bercow said. "My ruling is therefore that the motion will not be debated today as it would be repetitive and disorderly to do so."
