How to watch special Brexit sitting of parliament LIVE – channel, start time and what to expect

TODAY'S highly-anticipated Parliament showdown is live for all to see.

But exactly how can we watch it and what can we expect?

Follow our live blog for latest updates from Saturday's emergency Commons sitting to vote on Boris Johnson's Brexit deal

How can you watch the Brexit sitting of parliament live?

Today's showdown started live on Parliament TV at 9.30am.

Parliament will sit from 9.30am until 2.30pm, for the first time since the Falklands crisis in 1982.

Johnson is attempting to woo wavering MPs in the House of Commons as his deal - and promise to leave on October 31 - hangs in the balance.

And Boris is getting closer to victory as a string of Eurosceptic Tories and Labour MPs came out to back his deal.

Today Steve Baker told the ERG group after a last-minute meeting that they SHOULD vote for Boris Johnson's Brexit deal, leading to a surge of support.

If all follow their lead, this could push Boris over the line of what he needs when the votes come from around 2.30 onwards.

Later on in the day, the Government is set to move motions to approve Brexit deal in what will be termed Meaningful Vote 4.

A second motion will then be moved for a no-deal exit.

If Remainer MPs vote against the deal, Boris Johnson has until 11pm to send a letter to the EU asking for a three-month delay to the UK leaving the EU.

What can we expect?

The PM faces a race against time ahead of Saturday’s showdown in the Commons after the DUP vowed to vote down his agreement.

Parliament must now consider the deal and vote on whether to approve it.

With the DUP refusing to support the deal, the vote could be incredibly tight and will depend on whether Mr Johnson can retain the support of his own hardliners while also winning back former Tories and convincing two dozen or more Labour MPs to rebel against their leader.

The Government needs at least 318 votes for a majority.

Hardline Tory Brexiteers are letting Mr Johnson sweat over whether they will vote his Brexit plan – but the government is confident they can win the majority of the 28 ‘Spartans’ round.
