Government says vote increases chance of ‘disorderly’ Brexit
Dublin calls on the UK to outline its next steps after House of Commons rejects deal
British Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn tables a motion of no confidence in the UK government as Theresa May's Brexit deal is defeated by 230 votes in the House of Commons.
The Government said last night that it regretted the decision of the House of Commons to reject the EU-UK withdrawal agreement overwhelmingly, and in a strongly worded statement it urged the UK “to set out how it proposes to move forward”.
“We will then consider what next steps to take in consultation with our EU partners,” the Government said in a statement released after the vote by MPs. The statement also stressed that the withdrawal agreement “is not open for renegotiation”.
