Brexit Bill suspended after Commons rejected schedule – BBC News

For the first time, the House of Commons has voted in favor of a Brexit deal, but in essence, MPs have rejected Boris Johnson’s timetable to approve the necessary legislation.
The first of the two votes was the Deferral Agreement Act, the main Brexit legislation that makes the Prime Minister’s Brexit deal into law.
The government won 329 votes to 299, a majority of 30.
But he lost the second ballot in the parliamentary timetable, vote 14, which the majority of the parliament did not think was long enough for three days to consider such an important bill.
The prime minister said the bill would be stopped now, and the EU said tonight that the UK will call for another delay in Brexit.
