The government aims to hold a new vote on Theresa May’s Brexit deal on Friday, ministers have announced, even as it emerged that no new talks were scheduled with the DUP.

The leader of the Commons, Andrea Leadsom, said MPs would sit on Friday and hold a debate on Brexit. She did not specify what sort of vote would result, and repeatedly rebuffed MPs’ questions on the subject.
Leadsom said only that the vote would get around the ruling of the Speaker, John Bercow, that the same motion could not be voted on yet again.
