More Brexit drama and perhaps the first signs that a second Brexit referendum is in the making. The BBC is reporting that a motion of no confidence in Commons Speaker John Bercow – who has been accused of ignoring Commons rules in allowing MPs to vote on the Grieve amendment – is now likely.
The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris take a quick look at a dramatic turn of events in the Brexit saga, as Wednesday’s vote increases the likelihood for another (second) Brexit referendum. Music to the ears of the Brussels globalists.
