MPs have inflicted a humiliating defeat on Boris Johnson by passing a backbench amendment withholding support from his Brexit deal.
Instead of backing Johnson’s agreement in a “meaningful vote,” MPs passed an amendment tabled by a cross-party group led by Oliver Letwin by 322 votes to 306. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said, “The prime minister must now comply with the law. He can no longer use the threat of a no-deal crash-out to blackmail MPs to support his sellout deal.”
