Theresa May cannot hold a third vote on her Brexit deal, according to an explosive intervention from House of Commons Speaker John Bercow.
Speaking on Monday, Bercow said that parliamentary precedent disbarred British governments from holding repeated votes on the main motion.
The Speaker told MPs:"The government cannot legitimately resubmit the same proposition, or substantially the same proposition, as last week which was rejected by 149 votes."
