The BBC's Brussels correspondent, Adam Fleming, says the message coming from EU leaders, MEPs, and the EU's chief negotiator Michel Barnier is that "the withdrawal agreement is not changing".

The BBC correspondent adds: "The backstop is not changing, the 585-page treaty text - not a single page of it is changing.

"Where people are talking about changes is the political declaration, the other document that goes alongside it. Nobody is talking about the fact that that can't be changed."

Adam Afrieye, Conservative MP for Windsor, says removing the backstop is the answer to getting a deal through.

He says: "If the backstop was removed or seriously limited then I think the Europeans, they've got a deal.

"The majority of MPs don't want to implement the wish of the people because they want to remain in the European Union.

"The cleanest Brexit we can have now is to leave on a WTO transition which can be pretty well managed...Theresa May is still in a position to strike a deal with the EU if they don't want to be so intransigent about the backstop."

Leading Brexiteer Sir John Redwood tells BBC Radio Berkshire: "The EU negotiators and those of us who just want to leave the European Union are much more closely aligned than all these people in Parliament who seem to have forgotten the result of the referendum and are trying to come up with this so-called compromise where we're half in, half out.

"The EU has been crystal clear - if you leave the EU, you leave the single market and you leave the customs union... once we've left, the EU will want a free trade agreement with us."

Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who has spoken to Theresa May on the phone following the government's Brexit deal defeat, says she "didn't glean very much".

She says: "I got the very strong sense of two things, firstly she doesn't seem to have any clear idea herself of what the next steps are.

"And secondly, it didn't seem to me that she was prepared to abandon or move her red lines in order to open space for new ideas or new approaches."

Ms Sturgeon says the PM is "playing her cards close to her chest" but urged her to extend Article 50.

House of Commons
Parliament

The Speaker begins today's proceedings in the House of Commons by making a statement telling MPs off for taking pictures in the lobby chambers and posting them on social media.

He says he understands yesterday's events were "exciting", but the photographs represent a break of the House rules, and an invasion of MPs' privacy.

Last month MPs were given updated advice on how to behave in Parliament. You can read more about this here.

Following the historic defeat of her Brexit deal, which was rejected by 230 votes in the Commons, Theresa May is considering her next move.

One possible avenue is go back to the EU to see if negotiations - even at this late stage - can be reopened?

And that raises the question: does Brussels ever blink?

At the moment, the EU is saying very clearly that the deal on the table, painstakingly negotiated for more than 18 months, is as good as it gets.

But how has it responded to political complications in the past? There are no exact comparisons, because Brexit is a unique situation.

But here BBC Reality Check looks at a few examples.

Parliament

Business kicks off in the Commons shortly, with MPs asking questions of Scotland ministers.

We'll keep you updated with that, after which Theresa May returns to the House for Prime Minister's Questions at noon.

After that, a ten minute rule bill will be introduced by Conservative MP Vicky Ford (it's about banning low-level letterboxes), before MPs begin to debate a motion of no confidence in the government.

Voting will start at around 19:00 GMT - and you can read more about how a no confidence motion works here.

Home buyers and sellers have been putting off transactions because of the uncertainty surrounding Brexit.

According to the latest official figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), there has been a slowdown in UK house price growth over the past two years, driven mainly by a slowdown in the south and east of England.

London house prices have been falling each month since July 2018, while potential buyers and sellers have been postponing transactions in the south of England until after the EU withdrawal.

Kevin Roberts, director of the Legal & General Mortgage Club, says: "The ongoing political uncertainty is clearly causing some buyers and sellers to take a wait-and-see approach when it comes to the property market."

Wales' First Minister Mark Drakeford, who spoke to the PM on Tuesday night, says: "I didn't get a great sense that the prime minister is prepared to give up on some of her red lines."

Theresa May should "have a genuine conversation" with people who disagree with her, including the Welsh government, "to see if a different consensus can be forged", he says.

The vast majority of Wales' 40 MPs - 32 - voted against the Brexit deal. Only six Welsh Tory MPs supported it, with two of their colleagues opposed.

Mr Drakeford says Mrs May should be given time to find a way forward if she survives the no confidence vote. But if a consensus cannot be reached, he says: "It's hard to see what else can happen other than we go back to people and ask them to deliver their verdict on the best way forward."

Meanwhile Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns tells BBC Radio Wales: "I remain optimistic because I don't believe Parliament will vote in a way that will stop Brexit."

German Chancellor Angela Merkel says there's still "time to negotiate" over Brexit but it is up to the UK government to announce the next step.

Speaking to reporters in the German parliament, Mrs Merkel says: "We want to limit the damage as much as we can - and there will be damage in any case.

"That's why we will keep trying to find an orderly solution but we also have prepared for the possibility of a disorderly Brexit."

She adds: "We believe it's up to the British side to tell us what's going to happen next and the prime minister has said she'll do that."

Chancellor Philip Hammond has raised the possibility of an extension to Article 50, the process by which the UK is due to exit the EU.

In a call with business leaders last night, Mr Hammond sought to reassure the business community that a "no-deal" Brexit could be avoided.

According to the CBI, he outlined how the 29 March date might be postponed.

5 live's Chris Warburton is speaking to cab drivers in Edinburgh:

Keith says: "It's not heading in any direction right now, there's nothing clear. I think we should be remaining in the EU, and if no deal can be achieved, maybe we should just stay put.

"I think you'd be better going for a second referendum... by and large there's a greater knowledge about leaving."

John says Brexit is a big topic of conversation among passengers: "It's basically 50/50, half want to stay and half want to go. Everyone is fed up.

"I think it's the biggest lot of nonsense of all time... Start again, renegotiate it... Get rid of Theresa May, she's got to go. Get Boris [Johnson] in, he'll sort it out."

About 45 Labour MPs gather outside Westminster to show their support for another referendum on Brexit.

They hold a banner which reads: "Labour MPs, MEPs, conference and members agree - the people should have the final say."

Victoria Derbyshire

Stefanie Bolzen, UK correspondent for German newspaper Die Welt, says: "I don't think they [the EU] are going to budge - but I do think they do see the problem now because the loss or the defeat was so stark, they know now that the deal will not succeed and they will have to move because no deal is more likely for both sides."

She adds: "They might offer another compromise but only if they know it will 100% go through Parliament, and in your Parliament right now there is no consensus for anything so why should the EU offer any compromise if they can't have any guarantee that this will succeed."

Asked if the EU could compromise on the Irish backstop, Ms Bolzen says this is difficult as the EU is in solidarity with the Irish government and "they wouldn't want to create the impression that they are stabbing the Irish in the back".

Antonello Guerrera, UK correspondent for Italian publication La Repubblica, says: "I think the position of the EU is not going to change very much."

He adds: "We have a populist government in charge and they have often talked about a possible 'Italexit' in recent years.

"Many Italians will look now at the United Kingdom and say, 'look what may happen if we do something like that'.

"The situation in Italy is even more complicated... it's a very different scenario but Italians are really scared about this possibility."
