Boris Johnson's bid to pass vote on his Brexit deal blocked by Speaker John Bercow

The House of Commons Speaker ruled that he could not hold a vote on whether to approve his Brexit deal, after a similar bid was blocked on Saturday.He will now face renewed attempts by MPs opposed to Brexit, to unpick the fragile coalition of support he has for his deal. Boris Johnson's bid to hold a vote on his Brexit deal and avoid delaying Britain's exit from the EU has been blocked by the House of Commons speaker John Bercow.

It makes the chances of Johnson delivering Brexit by the Halloween deadline significantly tighter, as he will now need to first pass the legislation required to enact his Brexit deal through Parliament before gaining approval of the House. It would then need to go to the House of Lords, who would be likely to amend the bill further. Even with a fair wind, tying the whole process up before October 31 looks incredibly difficult.

However, assuming that the government's timeline is approved, then MPs will then move on to debating the substance of the bill itself.
