LONDON - Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit plans were thrown into turmoil on Monday when the speaker of parliament said she could not put her divorce deal to a new vote unless it was re-presented in a substantially different form.
Speaker John Bercow said the government could not bring forward proposals for a vote that were substantially the same as had already been defeated twice before, in January and last week. Bercow said his ruling should not be considered the last word on the matter and the government could bring forward a new proposition that was not the same as had already been voted on.“This is my conclusion: 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 12th of March, this would be entirely in order,” he said.
Earlier on Monday it had appeared that May was winning some support for Brexit deal, but Bercow’s ruling will leave the prime minister scrambling for options.
