MPs will vote tonight on whether to approve or reject leaving the EU with no deal after Thersa May suffered another humiliating defeat in a historic Brexit vote.

The Prime Minister was defeated by a majority of almost 150 in her second attempt to get parliamentary approval for her deal to leave the EU.

With just 16 days until the scheduled Brexit date the House of commons rejected the renegotiated deal.

Following the vote Theresa May confirmed MPs will have the opportunity to reject a no deal Brexit in a free vote.

The Prime Minister said she still believed she could get a deal through parliament.

She said: “I’m passionate about delivering the result of the referendum and I believe there is a majority in the house for this.”

However the European Union seem to have different ideas to the Prime Minister.

European Commission President, Jean-Claude Juncker, had warned before the vote that if MPs turned down the package which was agreed in Strasbourg on Monday, there was no other option on the table.

He said there would be “no third chance” to renegotiate.

After the vote the EU said it was up to the UK to find a way out of the deadlock.

A spokesman for European Council president Donald Tusk said: “On the EU side we have done all that is possible to reach an agreement.

“Given the additional assurances provided by the EU in December, January and yesterday, it is difficult to see what more we can do. If there is a solution to the current impasse it can only be found in London.”

Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, said his party would put forward its proposals again and he called for a General Election.

The SNP called for no deal to be ruled out and for a second Brexit referendum to be held.

Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister, said: “The votes now scheduled for the coming days will now give Parliament the chance to definitively reject the catastrophe of no-deal and to allow for more time for a sensible way forward to be found – but the Prime Minister should definitively rule out no-deal, instead of offering a free vote on the issue.

“Ruling out ‘no deal’ and extending Article 50 would stop the clock on Brexit and enable another referendum on EU membership to be held.

“We will support any such referendum, provided it has the option to remain in the EU on the ballot paper.”

Mrs May had previously lost by a majority of 230 and this time managed to persuade some Tory MPs to back her latest effort to achieve approval for the Withdrawal agreement.

But crucially she failed to win over the majority of the Eurosceptics in the Tory Party and the DUP who she relies on for a majority in the House of Commons and lost the vote by a majority of 149.

A total of 75 Conservative MPs voted to reject the deal along with 238 Labour and 35 SNP and ten DUP MPs.

The 11 LibDems, 11 of The Independent Group four Plaid cymru, 6 independents and one Green also voted to reject the plan.

The Prime Minister had the support of 235 Conservatives three Labour and four independents.

The vote took place after Theresa May returned from Strasbourg claiming to have got changes to the withdrawal agreement that provided greater reassurances over the Irish backstop, where Northern Ireland would remain in a customs union and close to the single market to avoid the need for a hard border with the Republic.

She had sought to get changes after losing previous votes because the UK would not be able to withdraw from the backstop without the EU’s approval.

Mrs May returned from the EU claiming to have won “legally binding” changes to the deal and her cabinet ministers said the changes mean MPs should back the deal.

However, the Attorney General, Geoffrey Cox, said the legal risk to the UK over the backstop “remained unchanged” and that unless it could be proved that the EU had acted in bad faith, the UK could not unilaterally end the backstop.

He said the choice faced by MPs whether to back the deal was a political decision political not a legal one.

Earlier in the day the Democratic Unionist Party said it would not be backing the Prime Minister as the deal had not changed.

Jacob Rees-Mogg chair of the Tory backbench anti EU group the European Research Group also said following the legal opinion and its own legal advice it would not support the deal.
