Boris Johnson bowed to the Conservatives in revolt with his commitment to the Brexit bill – BBC News

The government has backed down from its dealings with Conservative MPs over breach of international law over a controversial piece of legislation that would go beyond the Brexit withdrawal agreement reached with Brussels. Ministers have agreed on a compromise that will allow parliamentarians to vote before using new powers. The deal seeks to prevent a damaging Conservative uprising, saying a breach of the international treaty agreed to by Boris Johnson would do much damage to the UK’s reputation.
