Latest updates on Brexit deal vote in D-Day for Theresa May

Downing Street has shot back at claims by a Tory MP, Charles Walker, that a general election could be coming.

She said his own plan for a permanent and comprehensive customs union had been voted down by MPs too - and “why is he not listening?” She also warned that if the UK crashes out without agreement it would put the union between Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland at risk.Tory whips have been reduced to begging MPs to come to the chamber, which isn’t exactly full to bursting.DUP reject deal saying 'sufficient progress not been achieved' - statement in fullIn a statement a spokesperson for the party said:

A croaking Ms May has started speaking to MPs to defend her deal - but the changes don’t seem to have impressed MPs.“Tonight members of this house are faced with a clear choice, vote for this deal and we leave with a deal...or risk no deal or no Brexit.”A source claims the Conservative Party is actively preparing to fight the European elections - on the assumption that Brexit will be delayed until after polls in May.

Philip May has just arrived in the House of Common’s gallery ahead of the PM speaking to defend her deal - which looks like it is heading to a second brutal defeat. DUP Westminster leader Nigel Dodds added: “From what the Attorney General is saying today, provided there is no bad faith, the fact is that Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK could be trapped if it’s a question that the EU does not agree with the UK to supersede an agreement.”The “Star Chamber” of Eurosceptic lawyers have reported on the Government’s latest legal advice.

The Attorney General admitted that European Court of Justice would play the lead role in interpreting law if the UK takes EU to arbitration to get out of backstop.
