UK Prime minister Theresa May’s Brexit deal looks dead in the water after a third vote on her withdrawal agreement was ruled out unless it is significantly changed.

As Ms May met with members of the DUP yesterday in a bid to get them on side, House of Commons speaker John Bercow made a shock ruling that the prime minister cannot bring her EU withdrawal agreement back before MPs unless it is substantially different from the package which was decisively defeated last week.
