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.”
