Several of her own mps have joined labour in demanding parliament has the power to send ministers back to the negotiating table if it doesnt like the final deal between the uk and the eu. So far the Prime Minister has offered what shes called a meaningful vote but is that enough or will she have to make a concession in order to avoid a defeat. Our political editor, Laura Kuenssberg is in westminster. Thank you.

The Prime Minister has suffered her first defeat in the house of commons on the governments legislative plans for brexit. By a majority of just four, mps supported a change to the eu withdrawal bill which would give them a legal guarantee of a vote on the final brexit deal. Repeated offers of concessions by ministers were not enough to win the day. The amendment had been proposed by the conservative mp dominic grieve, a former attorney general, whod said it was time to put country before party. Our Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg reports. The tory rebels, huddled among their colleagues on the left, and labour on the right, thought they had lost. Weeks of energy and effort gone to waste. But watch that shuffle of mps, the four approaching in the middle. Cheering. The signal theresa may had been beaten. The ayes to the right, 309, the noes to the left, 305.

And he invoked winston churchill. Apart from a chest too, i dont think i ever rebelled against the government in all the years in this house. I find it entertaining that some who criticise me for speaking my mind on this matter are individuals who have exercised the luxury of rebellion are many, many occasions. That having been said, there is a time for everybody to stand up and be counted. As churchill said, he is a good party man come he puts the party before himself and the country before the party. And this was the Prime Minister making the counter argument. Lam happy i am happy to confirm to my
