Unless a “meaningful vote” is staged, MPs have no formal mechanism to stop the UK crashing out of the EU with no agreement next March – something the prime minister admitted, for the first time, would cause “significant economic damage”. Mr Corbyn said: “If the prime minister cannot be clear that she can and will renegotiate a deal then she must make way.” Justine Greening, the former Conservative cabinet minister, said: “Parliament has gone round in circles on Brexit. Kicking the can down the road again solves nothing.” And Sammy Wilson, Brexit spokesman for the Democratic Unionist Party – the Tories’ partners in power – turned on Ms May, saying: “Doesn’t she believe that, every time she returns to the House with her tail between her legs, she humiliates the British people?” A furious Mark Francois, deputy chairman of the hard Brexit-supporting European Research Group of Tory MPs, said the government had “run away and hidden in the toilets”, adding: “What the government have done today is shameful.” Downing Street also sparked fury by refusing to let MPs decide whether the vote, scheduled for Tuesday evening, should be pulled, despite being all but ordered to do so by the Commons Speaker. In the Commons, Ms May insisted “nothing is off the table” in Brussels – but repeatedly said she was seeking “assurances”, rather than the renegotiation MPs are demanding.
