The parliament refused to even vote on Johnson's Brexit deal a second time.

Slight correction here, the UK Gov pulled the bill due to a combination of the amendments some MPs had put forward being unpalatable for the Gov and that they didn't want parliament to scrutinize the withdrawal bill (one of the amendments extended the amount of time MPs had to review it). This was after they tried to rapidly pass the bill through the Commons in a few days. 

Boris is basically saying he doesn't want parliament to pick-out all the holes in his legislation so he pulled it instead.
