Angela Rayner, Labour's shadow education secretary, said she would talk to any of the Conservative Party MPs about Brexit - but "none of them will discuss the European Union with us".

She told Radio 4's PM programme that Labour wants "a customs union, consumer protections, employment protections and environment protections" from the Brexit deal.

Asked whether Labour would vote for her deal if Mrs May promised these things, Ms Rayner said: "Honestly, if she came up and she had those things, we've said all along we would negotiate and work with her... she hasn't done that."

She added: "If she came up with a different proposal then we would look at that but Brussels has said they will not negotiate a better deal with her... I don't believe she can get us to a better deal."

The SNP's Mhairi Black says she doesn't understand Jeremy Corbyn's logic in not calling the motion of no confidence in the government last month.

She adds that the moment to bring down the government may have passed.

She says that after the Brexit withdrawal agreement failed to pass, "all that happened is that [the PM] wasted a month" between December and January.

Former Labour MP John Woodcock, who now sits as an independent, criticises the government but says Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell are "simply not fit to hold high office".

"With a heavy heart," he explains, "I cannot support the no confidence motion."

Many Labour MPs are wrestling with their consciences, he suggests, "wanting desperately a Labour government, but knowing that the leader of their party is as unfit to lead the country as he was when they voted against him in the no confidence motion those years ago."

Tracking the journey of the pound, UK economist Ross Walker, from NatWest Markets, said at the time of the referendum in mid 2016, £1 would buy you around $1.50.

Afterwards, there was a "significant sell off in sterling", dropping from the mid $1.40s to close to $1.20 - which are "historically low levels for the pound against the dollar".

He added: "In the subsequent period, a little bit of clawback against the pound - this was really a dollar weakness story in part. The Bank of England began to raise interest rates, a bit more optimism about the UK economy.

"But then the real story I think in terms of where we are today, for much of the second half of last year sterling was selling off again against the dollar and against the euro as well. This weakness in the pound is primarily a Brexit risk."

At 17:00 GMT on Wednesday, the pound was at $1.29.

Conservative MP Steve Double says the prime minister has demostrated "great qualities" in the House, and if she takes these to the EU Commission "her stock will rise dramatically".

He says the prime minister has had a "tough task" with Brexit, and members of the Conservative Party have made this harder.

Plaid Cymru's Westminster Leader Liz Saville Roberts says if the no confidence motion is successful, Labour must move forwards on its Brexit policy as well as taking no-deal off the table, and support a 'People's Vote'.

She calls for MPs to look for "creative means" to seek a way forwards with Brexit.

With the Labour leader due to visit her marginal constituency tomorrow, Ms Rudd writes to local voters saying that a Jeremy Corbyn government would be "the worst possible outcome".

Angela Merkel tells the Press Association "it is now on the British side... to tell us what will happen next".

A debate over the lack of a proxy vote system for MPs was reignited when Tulip Siddiq delayed her planned Caesarean section to vote on the withdrawal agreement last night.

Lib Dem deputy leader Jo Swinson, who voted against the PM's Brexit deal, said "it seems like for [Mrs May] nothing has changed"

"She's not reaching out, she's not saying she will be flexible," she said.

Ms Swinson - who is supporting another referendum - said: "We are in a mess, Parliament is at an impasse and the way out of this is to put it back to the people."

Labour's Wes Streeting says "so many members" on the Conservative benches are "divorced from reality".

He says it is "striking" how few Conservative members have come to speak in favour of the government this afternoon.

Conservative Richard Drax says that his aim is not to try and prevent Brexit, but the deal presented to Parliament was not "in the national interest".

In further questions from MPs, former Brexit secretary David Davis says he supports Parliament's rights over the government's rights "except when they go against the rights and wishes of 17.6 million people".

Mr Davis says he wants to issue a warning on the "so-called Boles amendments".

Reports emerged this week that Conservative MP Nick Boles and others want to push through a new law giving a senior panel of MPs responsibility to push government business to one side and come up with a compromise Brexit deal if the prime minister's plans fail.

David Davies says "this is not in the national interest".

With that, the committee hearing comes to a close.

Conservative Stephen Kerr says that he has "full confidence" in the Conservative government and in Theresa May.

"She personifies duty, she is a patriot...and is leading a government that is dedicated to serving our national interests," he says.

Labour's Vernon Coaker says there is a part of the Conservative party which prevents the prime minister from being able to build consensus on Brexit.

On the question of another Brexit referendum, Mr Davis says "there are quite a lot of citizens who would be offended to be asked several times until they get it right".

"I do not approve it, I think it's a bad idea and would cause greater divisions," he adds.

On the practicalities of a second referendum, he says the fact it could be developed and a question agreed to in a matter of months is "a joke".

He believes it would take two years to achieve, and would have a negative impact on negotiations.
