For the listener. P.c. . 96. B.b.c. News at 7 I'm more on this and the prime minister is insisting he won't negotiate a new extension to the breaks it deadline despite losing a Commons vote earlier instead M.P.'s backed an amendment which calls for any approval of Boris Johnson's deal to be deferred until all the legislation has cleared parliament the meaningful vote has been avoided of meaning but I wish the house to know that I am not at all dismayed by this particular was out there that meaningful vote on Mr Johnson's new Bracks agreement is now expected to happen early next week but former Tory leader in Duncan Smith says voters will be frustrated that Parliament has chosen to further delay the process we had the numbers to get it done at all of that and not produced this last minute amendment. Which basically emasculated the motion I meant we could move it. I gather however I hope going forward that the European Union may well take a view which says look you know going to get an extension just get the damn bill through the European Commission says it's waiting to hear from Downing Street about the government's next steps by law the prime minister must write to the e.u. By 11 o'clock tonight to ask for an extension Meanwhile the people's vote campaign say 1000000 people took part in a March through central London calling for public ballot on Boris Johnson's brags that deal police have to scribe the route from Park Lane to parliament as very busy this woman explains why she took parts I'll say I think she's still just sold off I don't want our food stamp that's to be lowered I'm really proud of the operation. And more so really hard.
