		</div><p>British MPs have fired a warning shot across the government’s bows as they backed an amendment intended to limit ministers’ tax raising powers in the event of a no-deal Brexit.</p>
<p>The Commons voted by 303 to 296 – a majority of seven – in favour of the cross-party amendment to the Finance Bill tabled by senior Labour MP Yvette Cooper and Conservative former Cabinet minister Nicky Morgan.</p>
<p><a href="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/BE7D451C-1A4C-4041-AE3C-D2038BB1A771.jpeg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-123593" src="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/BE7D451C-1A4C-4041-AE3C-D2038BB1A771-1024x466.jpeg" alt="" width="640" height="291" /></a></p>
<p>Twenty Tory rebels MPs defied the whips to back the change – including former ministers Kenneth Clarke, Michael Fallon, Justine Greening, Dominic Grieve and Sam Gyimah.</p>
<p>Ahead of the division, ministers sought to play down the significance of the amendment, insisting it made only the “most minor and technical changes” to the legislation.</p>

<p>Downing Street described it as an “inconvenience” which would not prevent the government collecting taxes.</p>

<p>But as the Commons prepared to resume the debate on Theresa May’s Brexit deal, leading to a crunch vote next week, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said it was an “important step” towards preventing a no-deal break with Brussels.</p>
<p>“It shows that there is no majority in Parliament, the Cabinet or the country for crashing out of the EU without an agreement,” he said.</p>
<p>That is why we are taking every opportunity possible in Parliament to prevent no deal. Theresa May must now rule out no deal once and for all.”</p>
