Boris Johnson faces losing two key votes for his Brexit deal within a week in yet another setback

BORIS Johnson faces losing two key votes for his Brexit deal within a week - creating another obstacle to his hopes of getting the required legislation through Parliament.

Labour's pro-Brexit MP John Mann is due to leave the Commons on Monday in order to take up a seat in the House of Lords.

He was one of the crucial 19 Labour MPs who voted for the PM’s deal on Tuesday night.

Meanwhile Remainer John Bercow is due to stand down as Speaker and an MP on Thursday.

That means a Tory MP's vote will have to be sacrificed so they can fill the space vacated by Mr Bercow on the panel of four chairs of Commons debates, who never vote on motions.

It will take away a crucial vote for the PM's deal.

Government insiders said the fact that these two key votes would be lost was a factor in the PM’s determination to rush his Brexit deal legislation through the Commons before he loses the two votes next week.
