| Description | Prime Minister Boris Johnson lost yet another vote in the Parliament, after an amendment forcing a Brexit delay was passed by 322 to 306 on Saturday.
But tellingly, the stage is now set for the U.K. to approve the Brexit pact negotiated by Johnson with the European Union.
Former Conservative party member of parliament, Oliver Letwin, who authored the amendment requiring the delay, told Parliament after its passage that he was prepared to vote in favor of Johnson’s pact eventually.
So too will other MPs who, like Letwin, were forced out of the Conservative Party by Johnson, as will a handful of Labour party MPs. |
