What we're covering here
What's happening with Brexit? UK lawmakers just voted to put off a decision on the Prime Minister’s deal, forcing him to ask the EU for another Brexit delay.
What is the Letwin amendment? The measure was proposed by Oliver Letwin, an MP who was booted out of the Conservative parliamentary party last month by Boris Johnson when he supported anti no-deal legislation known as the Benn Act. The amendment called for lawmakers to "withhold support" from Johnson's plan until all of the legislation required to implement the bill is passed by Parliament as well.
Does this mean Brexit’s delayed? Johnson is legally obliged to request a Brexit extension from the European Union if he can't pass his plan by 11 p.m. local time tonight (6 p.m. ET).
Will we get a vote on Boris Johnson's deal next week? That's unclear at this stage. It could happen on Monday but a decision won't be taken until then.
