Commons speaker blocks another vote on Theresa May's Brexit plan

The Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow, blocked another vote on Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit plan in a surprise statement on Monday, stating that the Commons could not vote again on "the same proposition or substantially the same proposition" that was rejected by 149 votes last week.
