British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's proposed Brexit deal to the European Union will be put to test in Parliament on Tuesday with lawmakers voting on the Withdrawal Agreement Bill (WAB) in its second-reading. If the bill is approved, lawmakers will be voting on the proposed timetable, which aims to finalize Brexit by the end of the week.

Latest headlines suggest that PM Johson's government will have enough votes to have the WAB approved today. However, earlier in the day, Johnson hinted that he could call a snap election if MPs were to vote down his timetable and markets are likely to react to the outcome of the second vote

The first vote and the second vote took place at 18:00 GMT and 18:15 GMT, respectively.

Lawmakers rejected Boris Johnson's planned timetable for the rest of the week.

The government hoped to ram its Brexit bill through all its stages in the House of Commons by Thursday but MPs said no. Johnson said earlier if the vote failed, he would scrap his Brexit deal and push for a snap election.

MPs voted against the timetable by 322 votes to 308.

Lawmakers are now voting on UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson's planned timetable for the rest of the week -- which is where it could get harder for Downing Street.

The government hopes to ram its Brexit bill through all of its stages in the House of Commons this week, before it's pushed on to the House of Lords for approval as quickly as possible. If the government loses this vote, Johnson said earlier he would scrap his Brexit deal and push for a snap general election.

MPs have backed Boris Johnson's Brexit bill through its first Commons stage.

A total of 329 MPs voted for the bill - which would lead to Brexit becoming law - but they are yet to agree to push it through the Commons in three days.

If MPs reject the timetable and the EU offers an extension to the Brexit deadline, Mr Johnson has threatened to pull the bill and seek an election.

But a number of MPs said three days did not give them enough time to scrutinise the 110-page bill.

The result of that vote is expected at 19:30 BST.
