See is not in his place, but as he is characteristically evasive. It is a bill that effectively ends the negotiations. A bill that demands an extension at least until next year and perhaps for many more years to come. I feel that insists britain acquiesced to the demands of brussels and hands control to our partners in a bill designed to overturn the biggest democratic vote in our history. It is therefore a film without precedent in the history of this house, seeking as it does to force the Prime Minister with a predrafted letter to surrender in international negotiations. I refuse to do this, mr. Speaker. It is clear there is only one way forward the only one way forward for this country. The house has voted repeatedly to leave the eu, and it has voted repeatedly to delay actually leaving. Voted for negotiations, and today, i am afraid it has voted to stop, to scuttle any serious negotiations. Prime minister johnson what this bill means is the parliament or the right honorable general

A general election possibly on october the 15th if hes going to morrow to stop the negotiations and to compel im not the point of this delay to brits potentially for years and that would be the only way to resolve this i can confirm that we are tonight tabling a motion under the fixed time parliament. There is no consent in this house to leave the European Union without a deal. No majority for no deal in the conference. The defection of one conservative m. P. To the opposition liberal democrats means johnson no longer has a majority in parliament by voting against the government of the conservative party rebels have effectively ended their political careers. The bill will need to go before the opera house the house of lords on its journey into law but there are no guarantees it will work and after Boris Johnsons decision to shut down parliament for a month possibly from next monday m. P. s dont have much time until the government says it wants a deal with the e. U. And the progress is
A bluff but the consequences are already quite real Boris Johnson wants the e. U.

Saying they want to respect the will of the referendum. But every time we come to a vote on the matter there is always a reason why they cannot quite bring themselves to go to the lobby and vote for the Withdrawal Agreement. We have had three occasions in which we could have voted for the with all agree Withdrawal Agreement. Every single time, the same mps trot out to say they support the result and when it comes to the vote they vote to block brexit. So whats different this time .
