    BBC 5 live reporter Rory Carson is in north Wales, speaking to people about what they'd like to happen now.

    Michael

    Michael runs a sweet shop in Wrexham Butchers Market. He's had a stall in the area for 35 years.

    "I think we now have an ideal opportunity to go for a no deal. We have £39bn which the EU won't be getting their sticky fingers on which will enable us to help businesses in this transition period.

    "I would like Theresa May to stay, she's worked very hard and I don't think she's had the fullest support from her own party members, never mind anyone else."

    Phil

    Phil has run a coffee shop in Wrexham for nearly three years. He says Brexit is a popular topic of discussion in his cafe.

    "I can't see any other way of Theresa May carrying on, I think she'll get through the no confidence vote tonight but I can't see how she can carry on as prime minister."

    Phil says he likes the idea of another referendum but he isn't sure it will happen because the result was so close the first time.

    Jeremy Corbyn says nothing demonstrates the "sheer incompetence" of the government quite like Brexit. "This government is not capable of winning support for its core plan."

    "Who has confidence in this government's ability to negotiate a trade deal?" he asks.

    "The prime minister is trying to blame everybody else," he says, but the blame lies "firmly at the feet" of the government.

    The original plan was to push through a deal without Parliament's approval, only to be forced to hold a meaningful vote by the courts and MPs, he says.

    "Since losing its majority, the government has had numerous opportunities to engage with others"

    Carl Mostert from Carmarthen, Wales has a tongue-in-cheek response to the call for a further referendum.

    "If another referendum is held, then I want the Grand National Run again as my horse came second, and my kids want Father Christmas to call again as they have changed their minds about the presents he left."

    Former Labour leader Ed Miliband says Theresa May can't have cross party talks on trying to get her deal through if she is not speaking to the leader of the opposition (Jeremy Corbyn) - and if her red lines (on the withdrawal agreement) are still in place.

    He calls for the government to take seriously the views of the House, recognise "this is a grave national moment" and to overcome that not just by working across party lines but to give the Commons its "voice" on Brexit.

    Twenty-four-year old Jake Sutton says: “I am shocked and appalled at the state of play with Brexit at the moment and the absolute shambles it is causing me at work and elsewhere.

    "My work incorporates Europe and the US, and the European companies we work with our holding off doing business with us now. It is not fair on anyone.

    "As a young person living in London, the mess we are in has only made me want to have my say and do all I can for the country I love - to help sort this ludicrous party-political mess out."

  7. PM should resign and call election - Corbynpublished at 13:15 Greenwich Mean Time 16 January 2019

    Motion of No Confidence

    House of Commons
    Parliament

    Moving the motion that the House has no confidence in the Conservative government, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn says the government lost yesterday's Brexit deal vote by the biggest margin possible, and earlier were humiliated after being defeated by an amendment to the Finance Bill.

    He says as the government has lost both the confidence and supply of the House, the prime minister should resign and a general election should take place.

    "If a government cannot get its legislation through Parliament, it must go to the country for a new mandate, and that must apply when it is on the prominent issue of the day," he adds.

    Mr Corbyn says the Fixed-term Parliaments Act, external "was never intended to prop up a zombie government".

    You may have seen Tory MP Dominic Grieve presenting two new bills to Parliament - he's proposed the EU Referendum (Preparation) Bill and EU Referendum Bill.

    These bills are unlikely to come into law without government support, but they would make preparations for a new referendum on Brexit.

    Here's the detail about them from the order paper:

  10. Justice Secretary: Cabinet is 'fully united'published at 13:02 Greenwich Mean Time 16 January 2019

    David Gauke Justice Secretary

    Justice Secretary David Gauke, says that although "clearly there are different views within Parliament", cabinet ministers are "fully united" in supporting Mrs May's deal and wanting to reach a deal.

    He says: "I don't think there's anybody in the cabinet who's jumping up and down and saying 'no deal will be great, let's go for it'.

    "Nobody is jumping up and down and saying a second referendum is what the country needs... We all want to find a deal."

    Asked what the status is for EU nationals, Mr Gauke says those who are here now have the right to remain regardless of what happens.

    "There is going to be a registration scheme that we will need to bring in which has a cost to administer, and I don't think it's unreasonable that that fee is paid by those who register."

    Conservative MP Anna Soubry says a member of her staff was verbally abused on his way into work this morning outside Parliament.

    She says there were no police officers where the incident took place.

    Ms Soubry asks what more can be done so that MPs and their staff feel safe to come to work without being subjected to abuse.

    The Speaker John Bercow says he held a meeting with the Commissioner for the Metropolitan Police Cressida Dick last week, and she assured an increased police presence and a "changed mindset" in terms of the importance of "proactive measures".

    He says he will raise the matter of why there were no police at that particular entrance as security around Parliament is vital.

    Tory MP Sarah Wollaston says "driving off a cliff never ends well", and the best way to avoid no deal is to extend Article 50.

    She calls for the deal to be put to voters in a 'People's Vote', with the option to remain in the EU.

    Theresa May says "we should deliver on the vote in 2016, we should deliver Brexit."

    The EU would only extend Article 50 if it were likely a deal could be agreed, she says.

  18. May must rule out no-deal - Lib Dem leaderpublished at 12:50 Greenwich Mean Time 16 January 2019

    PMQs

    House of Commons
    Parliament

    Liberal Democrat leader Sir Vince Cable says the Liberal Democrat party has "a record of working with others in the national interest".

    He adds that Theresa May "shouldn't even bother" picking up the phone to members of opposition parties unless she is willing to rule out a no-deal Brexit and begin discussions on a 'People's Vote'.

    Theresa May says she is happy to have constructive conversations with party leaders "who want to put the national interest first", but notes that "sadly, not all leaders want to do that."

    Conservative Gillian Keegan says that "short term investment decisions" are still undecided or "going against the UK". She asks about how just in time supply chains can be protected for jobs.

    Mrs May says that the deal proposed last night would have protected just in time supply chains. She adds that she wants a deal which can protect jobs across the whole of the UK.

  20. MP calls for clarity for EU citizens in UKpublished at 12:47 Greenwich Mean Time 16 January 2019

    PMQs

    House of Commons
    Parliament

    SNP MP Carol Monaghan points out that she had a question at David Cameron's final PMQs too, to laughter from colleagues.

    She says the prime minister spoke of a need for clarity for EU citizens in the UK, but "clarity is in the prime minister's own hands".

    She urges Theresa May to scrap the settled status fee, giving a guarantee to EU citizens that they can remain in the UK after Brexit.

    Mrs May says the deal rejected last night would have guaranteed EU citizens' rights, but the government will guarantee these rights even if the UK leaves the EU without a deal.
