UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson met opposition Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn today. But they failed to agree on a timetable to press ahead with the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement Bill.

Labour spokesperson said “Jeremy Corbyn reiterated Labour’s offer to the prime minister to agree a reasonable timetable to debate, scrutinise and amend the withdrawal agreement bill, and restated that Labour will support a general election when the threat of a no-deal crash-out is off the table.”

Afterwards in the PMQs, Johnson accused Labour of seeking to scupper Brexit. Corbyn called for “the necessary time to improve on this worse-than-terrible treaty”.

The UK parliament is due to vote on, finally, Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Brexit Withdrawal Agreement Bill today. Ahead of that, Johnson told the parliament that “if we pass this deal and the legislation that enables it we can turn the page and allow this parliament and this country to begin to heal and unite”. Additionally, if the bill is approved, the government would de-escalate no-deal Brexit preparations.

Additionally, the tight time table for the bill will also be voted on. Johnson’s spokesman said earlier that “Voting down a program motion has serious implications. It means legislation can drift on and on … Voting down the program motion risks handing control over the situation to the European Union and therefore making no deal more likely.”

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal will come back to the Commons on Tuesday, after twice being denied a vote. A vote on Second Reading, the general principle of the Withdrawal Agreement Bill, is expected to be held at around 1900GMT. After that, a vote on Program Motion will be held shortly after, for the timetable for the bill’s passage.

The first vote would be the real moment of truth for Johnson. If he’s defeated there, the bill is dead. Though, it’s currently generally believed that Johnson would get a very narrow win. The second vote is about the timing of Brexit. The government is trying to push through a Third reading this Thursday, so as to meet the Oct 31 Brexit deadline. It’s highly doubtful if MPs would support this accelerated schedule. If not, another Brexit delay is inevitable.

UK House of Commons Speaker John Bercow ruled that vote on Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal cannot take place today. Bercow cited a parliamentary rule dating back to 1604 under which the government cannot repeatedly ask Parliament to vote on the exact same motion.

He said, “it is clear that the motions are in substance the same. My ruling is therefore that the motion will not be debated today as it would be repetitive and disorderly to do so.”

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is pushing for a “yes or no” meaningful vote on his Brexit deal today. His spokesman said “The meaningful vote will go ahead if the speaker allows it and if no amendments are selected which would render the vote pointless. There is not point having a meaningless vote, the government would pull the motion”.

He added: “The public want Brexit done. The government is determined to pass the PM’s great new deal and get us out of the EU on Oct. 31 … The deal with the EU has just been agreed, it is done, it is closed”. “The negotiations with the EU have already gone on far too long. The prime minister has achieved what is a very good deal and he is focused on getting that deal through parliament.”

Sterling rises again today, apparently on renewed optimism over orderly Brexit. UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson will try to push his Brexit deal to a vote in the Commons today. Speaker John Bercow might decide to disallow and unamended bill without extension. Yet, the government could still reintroduce the bill with article 50 extension. But after all, the votes that Johnson could set is what matters most.

According to Guardian’s analysis, 320 MPs could vote for the deal, versus 317 again. Johnson appears to have secured support from all of his 287 MPs. He is said to have support from 20 former MPs too, plus 5 independents and 8 Labour rebels. ERG chair Steve baker also indicated that “The advice I gave to my Eurosceptic colleagues is we should, number one, back the deal,” he said. “Number two, vote for the legislation all the way through unless, it has to be said, it was wrecked by opponents, in which case we would have to take a view.
