Brexit vote: MPs pass amendment to block Boris Johnson from suspending parliament to force through.. [View all]
..no-deal
MPs have defeated the Government in a crucial House of Commons vote to stop the new prime minister suspending parliament to force a no-deal Brexit through.
The House of Commons voted by 315 to 274 to back an amendment to Northern Ireland legislation which will force the government to hold debates in parliament in the run-up to the Brexit date of 31 October.
The likely winner of the Tory leadership contest, Boris Johnson has not ruled out asking the Queen to use a mechanism called prorogation to lock the doors of the Commons on MPs who might otherwise block a no-deal Brexit.
