MPs have passed an amendment that allows parliamentarians to set the order of business in Parliament on 4 September, in an attempt to prevent a no-deal Brexit. The amendment, which passed by 328 votes to 301, lets MPs debate a bill preventing the UK from leaving the EU unless a deal is agreed, or MPs explicitly vote to leave without one. Labour MP Chuka Umunna said he would not support any motion allowing parliament to be recalled if there was no deal. It doesn't matter how many people vote in total - Johnson also lost his slim working majority of one when MP Phillip Lee defected to the Liberal Democrats.
