Boris Johnson has lost the knife edge vote surrounding the timetable for his Brexit Bill. But Brexit has still tonight been hurled into fresh chaos after Mr Johnson's bid to ram his deal through Parliament was unsuccessful. MPs voted down the PM’s plea to spend just two and a half days scrutinising a 110-page Brexit deal Bill that will have massive, sweeping consequences for British law. It means that despite passing its first hurdle 15 minutes earlier, Mr Johnson’s Brexit deal - agreed with the EU last Thursday - is now thrown into limbo. “One way or another we will leave the EU with this deal to which the House has just given its assent.”
