The British Prime Minister is hoping to bring his Brexit deal back before Parliament later.
In a special sitting of the House of Commons on Saturday, MPs voted to withhold support for the revised deal until all the necessary laws supporting it are passed.
That forced Boris Johnson to request a Brexit extension from the EU – although he also told Brussels he did not want actually want it.
Mr Johnson will now push for a ‘meaningful vote’ on the deal this afternoon – although House Speaker John Bercow may block the attempt and open debate on the wider legislation.
Should that happen, opposition MPs may try to add amendments to it, with Labour expected to push for a confirmatory referendum and Customs Union with the EU.
