Read our privacy policy Theresa May’s attempt to secure parliament’s approval for her Brexit deal this month has been dealt an almost certainly fatal blow. In a ruling that took the government by surprise, the speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow, refused to allow a third reading of the prime minister’s EU withdrawal motion, on the basis that parliament had already rejected it twice. Tory MP James Gray was said to be “absolutely furious“ with the speaker’s ruling, after having declared he would back May’s deal this time after rejecting it in the last two votes.
