Brexit march London - live: People's Vote protesters cheer as MPs force Boris Johnson to ask EU for extension

Nigel Farage says Johnson’s deal ‘not Brexit’

Nigel Farage has appealed to MPs to vote down Boris Johnson deal (whether that meaningful vote happens today or Monday), claiming the agreement was “not Brexit”.

In a double-page advert in the Brexit-backing Daily Telegraph, Farage also fired off a warning to the prime minister, saying: “Sorry Boris. Your deal is not great, it’s not new - and it’s not Brexit.”

PM urges Oliver Letwin to ditch his amendment

Boris Johnson said says he believes Sir Oliver Letwin is motivated “by best intentions” but asks him to pull his amendment – the amendment set to derail his showdown vote.

Letwin smiles.

Independent MP Nick Boles, formerly of the Conservatives, says “there is more chance of him being called up to the England rugby team.”

Protesters demanding a People's Vote make their way to Hyde Park 

Today's march begins in Hyde Park, London and moves through the capital to Westminster. Here are a few more pictures and videos of people calling for a Final Say as they arrive from all over the country. 

Together for a Final Say

Today's march kicks off at midday and culminates with a series of speeches outside the Palace of Westminster. All of this is coincidentally taking place while MPs debate and vote on Boris Johnson's Brexit deal in the House of Commons. We'll be updating you on the latest updates from inside and outside Westminster.

Will the Letwin amendment pass?

We’re expecting the big vote on the Letwin amendment around 2.30pm. It is expected to pass – but how close could the outcome be?

Robert Peston has been told it’ll pass by five votes. One Labour MP has told Sky News’ Lewis Goodall that backing the amendment “gets us off the hook for a bit longer”.

Remember, the amendment tabled by Sir Oliver Letwin would withhold the House’s approval until legislation to ratify the deal has completed its passage through parliament.

No 10 has made clear it would, if passed, render a vote later today on Boris Johnson’s deal “meaningless” – and the next “meaningful” opportunity would come on Monday.

Giant puppets of Boris Johnson and Dominic Cummings are being paraded down Whitehall as the big Final Say vote march gets under way in London.

Labour confirms it will back Letwin amendment

Sir Keir Starmer is methodically taking apart the deal. He says there is nothing in the deal that is better than Theresa May's agreement - arguing that it is the 'weakest of weak deals' for services.

Praise for his efforts comes from Nicola Sturgeon, who suggests the Brexit secretary doesn't even understand them.

Alliance of groups gather for Final Say march

Groups from across the political spectrum are marching to demand a second referendum this afternoon. We’re expecting the speeches at Parliament Square to begin at around 2pm.

Sadiq Khan joins march for Final Say vote on Brexit

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has joined the march – leading from the front by the looks of things. He says protesters will make sure the message is heard “loud and clear”.

The Lib Dems’ Chuka Umunna is there in spirit – saying the party is making the argument for a referendum inside the Commons.

Sir Oliver Letwin moves his amendment

Expelled Tory says he is moving his amendment to ensure MPs are 'secure in the knowledge the UK has requested an extension tonight'.

He confirms he will vote for Boris Johnson's deal but he still gets a bit of a barracking from Tory MPs.
