Dominic Raab, foreign secretary, has claimed that Boris Johnson is set to bounce back from his Brexit defeat on Saturday by winning what could turn out to be a historic Commons vote on his new exit deal this week. Mr Raab said the government now had a fragile cross-party coalition of at least 320 MPs willing to back the deal, either in a new “meaningful vote” on Monday or when legislation implementing the deal is put to its second reading vote on Tuesday.
“We appear to have the numbers to get it through,” Mr Raab said on the BBC’s Andrew Marr show. According to an analysis by the Financial Times based on past voting records and public statements, there could be a majority of five for the Brexit deal. Some 320 MPs currently appear set to back Mr Johnson’s deal, with 315 opposed.
