MPs backed the amendment by 322 votes to 306 earlier today, and the Government immediately pulled a planned vote on Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal. The decision means the Benn Act comes into force, meaning Mr Johnson is now required to request a further Brexit delay from Brussels, pushing the process past October 31, the date he has vowed to take the UK out of the bloc by.   Related articles Gove humiliates Remainer MPs ahead of crunch vote Brexit news: Letwin amendment passes - when is Brexit now?  Ms Oakeshott told Sky News: “So as every day goes past it feels as if a general election actually becomes a more distant prospect. “I was talking to a Tory minister this morning who raise the terrifying prospect that we might be trapped all the way through to 2022 when that is the point that, under the Fixed Terms Parliament Act, we might actually have to have a general election.” She added: “Genuinely there are now Tory MPs who are saying they fear this might be the case. “Bottom line is Labour has no incentive to back a general election at this point when they are doing so poorly in the polls. “Now that can change at any point and I am saying poorly and I am saying relative to where the Tory Party is polling. “All that could change in a matter of months if the Tory Party is seen be routinely incompetent, at which point perhaps Labour will be ready to vote for it.”   Ms Oakeshott, known as the journalist who published details about unflattering memos relating to US President Donald Trump by former UK Ambassador to the US Kim Darroch in the Mail on Sunday, said she was also surprised the Government opted against hold a result of Mr Johnson’s Brexit deal today, saying: “I’m bewildered by this. “It doesn’t seem like they had anything to lose because they had lost the Letwin case. “But nonetheless they could have gone on and actually won the next stage of this because perhaps if Letwin was being sincere, he was hoping there would be a number of doubters on the Government’s motion who would have been reassured by his kind of insurance policy that they would still have a chance to go through that legislation and approve it.   “So it seems to me a potentially unforced error particularly if the speaker is serious in suggesting that he may not actually on whatever grounds authorise a meaningful vote on Monday.” Speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow said he would rule on Monday if he will allow the government to put forward a vote on Mr Johnson’s deal. There is a convention in Parliament that the same question cannot be put twice during the same session. House of Commons leader Jacob Rees-Mogg said the Government planned to put the deal to a debate and vote on Monday. Mr Berc
