John Bercow has dropped a bombshell onto “Meaningful Vote 3” – 14 ayes to the right

With 10 days to go until the UK is due to leave the EU, the Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow, has made a pronouncement that has put the Parliamentary cat among the Eurosceptic pigeons. Invoking a rule laid down in 1604 against repeatedly putting the same motion to the House, the Speaker stated that Theresa May’s Withdrawal Agreement could only be voted upon a third time if she achieves sufficient change.

Political Twitter has come out in force, with these majestic reactions.
