No repeat Brexit vote this week?

I think we need a reason to ask for a delay, so if TM can't get her deal through, a longer delay could be justified on the grounds of a second vote or a GE, or another (cross-party) approach to negotiations.

No, lemongrove, it would not be the same: instead of a simplistic in/out vote, we could, for example, be asked to choose between TM's deal or remaining, to describe just one scenario.

I see no reason why the EU should feel obliged to come up with something new - we were the ones who asked to leave so the ball is in our court.

Either that or a longer delay, so that our useless MP’s can thrash something out.

Oh yes it would! grin

There now needs to be something different added to the deal, so the EU will need to do that ( if they want a deal to go through) so that Parliament can vote again for it.
The EU always say they can’t ‘give any more’ but in the end, if they don’t want us to simply leave this month, they will
Have to.

Ahead of suggestions that this should also apply to a second referendum - the whole point of that is that it would not be the same as the last one!

This breaking news has just appeared on the BBC:

John Bercow has ruled out another vote on the government's previously rejected Brexit agreement if the motion remains "substantially the same".
