Live | MPs set to vote on Brexit delay and general election in UK parliament
Prime Minister Boris Johnson will table a motion for early general elections on Wednesday after an alliance of opposition MPs backed by 21 Tory rebels won a vote to take control of the parliamentary agenda in a bid to stop a no-deal Brexit.
“I don’t want an election but if MPs vote tomorrow to stop negotiations and to compel another pointless delay to Brexit potentially for years then that will be the only way to resolve this,” Johnson said immediately after the vote.
The victory is the first hurdle for lawmakers who will on Wednesday seek to pass a law forcing Johnson to ask the EU to delay Brexit until January 31 unless he has a deal approved by parliament beforehand on the terms of the exit.
