John Bercow’s ruling over a third vote on Theresa May’s Brexit deal dominates the front pages on Tuesday.
The Guardian reports that the Prime Minister’s government was “plunged into constitutional chaos” after the Speaker blocked Mrs May from bringing her Withdrawal Agreement back before MPs unless it had fundamentally changed.
The Times says Downing Street accused Mr Bercow of sabotaging the PM’s efforts to rescue her deal.
Mr Bercow invoked a convention last used 99 years ago to stop the vote taking place, the Daily Telegraph reports, saying his announcement was greeted with fury in the Commons.
The Daily Express runs with the headline: “The Brexit destroyer”, while the Metro says the Speaker surprised Mrs May with his ruling.
It came just 24 hours before the PM was expected to ask the Commons to decide on the issue for a third time following two defeats, the Daily Mail reports.
The Sun says it is a “huge blow” to hopes of an orderly departure on March 29.
And the Financial Times reports that the PM’s plan to get her deal through the Commons faces a “potentially insurmountable hurdle” following the Speaker’s ruling.
Meanwhile, the i says up to 30 Conservative MPs have told the PM she needs to step down.
In other news, the Daily Mirror reports that MPs are to probe whether women are turning to prostitution because of Universal Credit.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
