Prime Minister, Theresa May, has suffered a fresh defeat in a Commons vote on her Brexit strategy by 303 to 258.

Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, has called on the Prime Minister – who did not take part in the debate – to “admit her Brexit strategy has failed”.

Tory Brexiteer rebels abstained, saying the government’s motion implied a no-deal Brexit would be ruled out.

Ministers said that was not the case but defeat would make life more difficult for the PM in EU talks.

Mrs May had promised MPs a final, decisive vote on her Brexit deal with the EU when she has secured the changes to it she believes MPs want to see.
