Labour MP Keir Starmer has called on Conservative MPs who want the UK to stay in the EU to vote for the Lords amendment with Labour when the bill returns to the House of Commons[36] [37] and former Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown has proposed replacing May with a new Conservative Prime Minister if she loses the vote. [38] Prominent Tory-Restin amber Rudd urged her party`s MPs to support the government in the vote. [36] Immediately afterwards, Opposition Leader Jeremy Corbyn called for a vote of no confidence against the government, which took place on 16 January 2019. The government won by 325 votes to 306, a majority of 19. [81] This is how MEPs voted in favour of the Prime Minister`s Withdrawal Agreement: by the end of March 2019, the government had not won any of the important votes. This resulted in a series of non-binding “indicative votes” on possible options for Brexit and the delay in the withdrawal date. Mrs May said a new “useful vote” would take place “as soon as possible” but that she would make a statement if it did not take place by February 13, and that it would be followed by a debate on a changeable proposal on 14 February. [86] This is the BBC political correspondent Iain Watson. He says up to 30 Labour MPs abstained from voting on the Brexit bill this afternoon or did not abstain.
Julia Lopez (Conservative – Hornchurch and Upminster) (Lee Rowley proxy vote) The reoriented lower house is very different from the one that voted on the withdrawal agreement in October. But minutes later, in a second vote, Johnson fell 308-322, while MPs blocked the proposed timetable for the Brexit deal for leaving the EU until 31 October. After passing its second reading by a sovereign vote of 358 to 234, the withdrawal agreement is on track to complete its adoption by both houses of parliament in time to allow Britain to leave the European Union at the end of January. Boris Johnson won a close vote on his Brexit deal tonight, but MPs then torpedoed his move for a three-day timetable for debate on the withdrawal deal. 32 Labour MPs and 10 Conservatives did not vote. Chris Evans (Labour – Islwyn) (proxy vote by Mark Tami) In his statement of 12 February, the Prime Minister reaffirmed his objective of having a second “useful vote” on a withdrawal agreement. She indicated that if this were not the case on February 26, the government would make a new statement to Parliament on the government`s progress and would introduce a amended motion to that declaration, which is expected to be put to a vote on February 27.
