Tonight MPs have voted to stop no-deal Brexit. We did not get enough support to ensure there could be a binding vote to avert no deal or require an extension of article 50 if needed. We remain deeply concerned that there is no safeguard in place to prevent a cliff edge in March 2019 if the prime minister does not get a deal agreed in time.

The prime minister promised a new meaningful vote on 13 Feb and a new amendable motion in the event that this motion is defeated or the government does not secure a new deal. But we are running out of time. She will need to reflect the Commons opposition to no deal. We will consider what amendments will be needed if at that point no progress has been made. We remain committed to ensuring that we don’t reach the cliff edge on 29 March without a deal.
