What happens now with Brexit?

Theresa May has suffered a humiliating defeat after MPs voted to completely take the option of a no-deal Brexit off the table.

MPs voted by 312 votes to 308 in favour of an amendment that was stronger than the government's own motion in its opposition to a no-deal outcome.

Ms May's motion said the Commons "declines to approve" leaving without a deal on March 29, but said the only way to avoid this is to pass an agreement. The amendment passed by MPs removed this caveat and simply said the Commons "rejects" a no-deal Brexit.

​Earlier, chancellor Philip Hammond used his Spring Statement to downgrade growth forecasts and warn MPs that uncertainty over Brexit was damaging the economy.

It came after ministers revealed plans to scrap tariffs in the event of the UK crashing out of the European Union without a deal as MPs prepare to vote on a no-deal Brexit.

Under a temporary and unilateral regime, EU goods arriving from the Republic of Ireland and remaining in Northern Ireland will not be subject to tariffs – a prospect likely to increase the risk UK jobs would be lost. Charges will however be payable on goods moving from the EU into the rest of the UK via Northern Ireland under a schedule of rates also released today.

SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford told the Press Association: "What you saw from the Prime Minister when she spoke after the votes is that she put her head in the sands.

"She is effectively trying to ignore the House of Commons."

Stephen Phipson, chief executive of manufacturing organisation Make UK, said: "Tonight Parliament has expressed a strong view, on behalf of the country, making it clear that the UK cannot leave the European Union without a deal. We welcome this wholeheartedly.

"We hope the Government listens and finds a way to make this opinion legally binding.

"It is then imperative that Government and Parliament work together to quickly identify a sensible and pragmatic pathway for the future that ends the damaging uncertainty causing havoc to business."

Tory MP Andrea Jenkyns has called on ministers who voted to rule out a no deal to resign.

Speaking on ITV's Peston, she said she had "resigned from my bag-carrying role" to back Brexit, but others had stayed on.

"We are in this mess because at the top there is no strong leadership," she added.
