MPs Approve a Bill Blocking No-Deal - Brexit Explained

The video discusses the emergency motion in the House of Commons that allowed MPs to control the parliamentary timetable to debate the Benn Bill, which aims to prevent a no-deal Brexit. The bill requires the government to either reach a deal with the EU or get Parliament's approval for a no-deal by October 19th. If not, the government must request an extension. The bill faced opposition from Boris Johnson's government, leading to the removal of 21 Conservative MPs. The bill passed through the Commons and moved to the Lords, with concerns about potential filibustering. The Lords agreed to return the bill to the Commons by a set deadline, making its passage into law likely.
