UK House of Commons, Speaker of the House John Bercow: 18 March 2019
“House of Commons Speaker John Bercow was today accused of sabotaging Theresa May’s Brexit deal after telling MPs she cannot force them to vote on it again without changing it ‘substantially’.
The Commons Speaker cited a 400-year-old Commons precedent to inflict an extraordinary blow to Mrs May’s hopes of getting her EU divorce through Parliament.
Mrs May had planned to go to Brussels on Thursday and apply for a ‘long’ Brexit delay unless MPs show they are ready to back her deal by Tuesday night.
Now Mr Bercow used a precedent from April 1604 – used 12 times in the Commons since then – to warn the PM that she must significantly change her deal if she wants to force another vote on it before March 29.
It means that if Mrs May wants to force MPs into another vote after the EU Brussels summit she will have to ask Mr Bercow who would have the final say on if it goes ahead.
Unless Mrs May can make an acceptable change, the Speaker’s intervention means the PM’s deal will be killed off with No Deal or a long-term delay to Brexit the most likely options. This video has Speaker Bercow’s full statement.” — This text reposted from the ProductiehuisEU Channel on YouTube

The Nigel Farage Show: 18 March 2019
LBC: Nigel Farage takes calls on today’s news that the Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow, won’t allow Prime Minister Theresa May a 3rd attempt to pass an amended EU Withdrawal Agreement unless it’s significantly different than the previous 2 versions of the WA that she has tried (and failed) to pass. The Speaker of the House cites many legal precedents going back to April 2, 1604 to prove that he’s legally required to enforce this rule in the UK Parliament.
