Brexit: PM's bid for 15 October election fails - BBC News
Opposition MPs refuse to support him, so Boris Johnson is unable to secure enough backing for a poll.
MPs now carry on with their usual business - in this case presenting public petitions to the House.

Over in the House of Lords, peers are still voting on amendments to the business motion which aims at ensuring the no-deal bill has time to become law before the suspension of Parliament.

They are currently discussing amendment 2C but there are over 100 to get through.

BBC parliamentary correspondent Mark D'arcy says: "There is talk of them talking til they drop to get through all these amendments so they can then deal with the bill.

"It is not going very fast.

"There are attempts to get behind-the-scenes talks going but the government seems prepared to just talk it out.

"The bill may have a rather bumpy ride."
