There's been drama in the Commons, with the Speaker blocking another vote on British Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit deal.

The speaker of the House of Commons says it's down to a Parliamentary rule from the seventeenth century.

Citing a 400 year old precedent, John Bercow said Mrs May's plan won't be voted on again, unless it's been substantially changed.
