(CNN) - The British Parliament supported the amendment by parliamentarian Oliver Letwin, which delays a decision on the Boris Johnson brexit agreement and rules out a brexit without an agreement on October 31.

This is a great defeat for Boris Johnson, who is forced to seek an extension to Brexit later.

The amendment retains the approval of Johnson's Brexit in Parliament until after all the complex legislation that implements the agreement, the Bill of the Withdrawal Agreement, is passed.

This forces Johnson to request an extension of Brexit until January 31 on Saturday night, according to the Benn Law.

Johnson says he can ignore the law to delay brexit

"Unfortunately, the opportunity to have a significant vote has been missed," Johnson told parliamentarians after losing the vote on the Oliver Letwin amendment. "The significant vote has been annulled."

"I am not dismayed by this particular result," he added. "The best thing for the United Kingdom and for all of Europe is that we leave with this new agreement on October 31st."

He then indicated that he may not comply with the Benn Act, which orders him to request a delay of brexit tonight.

"I will not negotiate a delay with the European Union, and the law does not oblige me to do so either," he said. "An additional delay will be bad for this country."

Johnson also says that Brexit legislation will return to the House of Commons next week.

The Letwin Amendment

Letwin and his team believe that without it, the pro brexit could hamper the withdrawal agreement law and the United Kingdom would "accidentally" leave on October 31. It is an "insurance policy," they say.

But this still allows Johnson to approve his brexit agreement: he only has to approve all separate parts of the Retirement Bill first.

This Saturday the British parliamentarians hold the first parliamentary session on the weekend in 37 years to discuss and vote on the new agreement on the brexit of Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

The agreement to withdraw Breisit from Boris Johnson will be put to the vote: parliamentarians discuss the new agreement of the prime minister, achieved last week after months of fractured negotiations with the European Union.

Even if the agreement passes, the fight is not over, anti-Brexit protesters say

The marches began near Park Lane and are moving along Whitehall, passing Downing Street and ending at a rally in Parliament Square.

The organizers expect large numbers of people and say they have hired more than 170 buses to attract protesters as they did last March, when they said they reached one million attendees. The authorities have not given estimates of the size of the crowd.

The common message that protesters hear at the Brexit march in London today is challenging: even if lawmakers support the agreement of Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Britain leaves the European Union, it is not yet the end.

“It will not end. Even if they vote and leave, it won't end in 10 years. Then we have to negotiate trade agreements, ”a protester named Michael told CNN.

"I think if we leave, we will end up joining again in 15, 20 years, because young people like my children believe implicitly in the EU," he says.

If the protesters are strong enough, the members inside Westminster could listen to them.

An intruder is arrested in Parliament

A 29-year-old man was arrested at the Palace of Westminster for "crossing a protected place," Westminster Police said Saturday.

The man was taken to the South London Police station. An investigation is ongoing, police said on Twitter.
