Tory MPs Justine Greening, Robert Courts and George Freeman pledge that they will be voting for Theresa May in the no-confidence vote later.

Putney MP Ms Greening, who wants another referendum, says "the last thing Britain needs is a general election".

"What the prime minister now needs to do is find out if there's a consensus on any other path forward, given that we've rejected her deal. If there isn't, my view is you have to be prepared to trust the people to make the final choice."

Mr Freeman says: "It's been clear for me for two years we should be reaching out and trying to build a cross-party consensus."

5 live's Nick Garnett is spending the day in Barnsley.

Paul Bates is a butcher at the market. He says he was disappointed with the events of last night.

"She [Theresa May] is on a back foot now. I think all the MPs should have backed her, just to get the best deal that we possibly could."

Paul says it's hard to know whether Brexit will have any impact on business.

"We have a very low mileage on our meat. Our beef comes from Penistone, the lamb comes from Penistone, the pigs are from Doncaster, however I don't know if it will affect the farmers we're dealing with doing the exporting.

"But ultimately no-one knows what's going to happen, so my personal opinion is, the people have spoken, we want to get out, so let's get out."

Theresa May is criticised by Labour's Ed Miliband for not engaging with leader Jeremy Corbyn. In her defence, Tory MP Sam Gyimah tells the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire show that she has not spoken to Mr Corbyn because he is "not interested" in solving the crisis, and is solely focused on pushing for a general election.

DUP Westminster leader Nigel Dodds says his party will be supporting the government in the no confidence vote later.

Theresa May, who relies on Northern Ireland's 10 DUP MPs to have a majority in Parliament, is expected to be backed by Tory rebels, as well as the DUP, in this evening's vote.

Mr Dodds tells Radio 4's Today programme: "We believe a general election is not in the interests of the country and we certainly believe that a [Jeremy] Corbyn government is not in the interests of the country either.

"But the PM does need to reach out - to the other parties - she also needs to do a massive repair job within in her own party."

Bank of England governor Mark Carney says the pound rallying after Theresa May's Brexit deal was rejected as a sign markets think Brexit could be delayed.

Speaking at a hearing with MPs on the Treasury Select Committee, he says the rebound "would appear to reflect some expectation that the process of resolution would be extended and that the prospect of no-deal may have been diminished".

Mr Carney says he was not giving his opinion, but the "market's initial take".

He adds: "The markets, like the country, are looking to Parliament for direction and one could expect continued volatility."

A group of Labour MPs are starting to gather outside Portcullis House in Westminster to call for another referendum on Brexit.

Mark Francois, the vice chair of the European Research Group which is made up of pro-Brexit MPs, says he was at the champagne celebration party at Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg's house on Tuesday night after the vote.

He says they were celebrating "the fact that we voted against an awful deal".

"I was only there briefly so I wasn't keeping a guest list".

Asked about the mood at the party, he says: "Well obviously we were pleased because we had worked for a long while to defeat this document."

He says what the ERG wants is a free trade agreement dubbed "super Canada" which is based on the EU-Canada agreement.

Leaving his house this morning, Environment Secretary Michael Gove tells reporters: "The prime minister has said we’re going to talk to MPs from across the House of Commons.

"In order to see how we can move forward we need to have a consensus.

"I think the critical thing to do is to make sure we talk openly to people of different political positions and different political parties."

He adds: "I’m sure the prime minister will win the no confidence vote today."

This is the outcome that is widely expected.

Labour's John McDonnell says his party are expected to lose the vote and the DUP - which props up Theresa May's government - says it will vote in favour of the government.

Following the vote, Mrs May will have to go back to focusing on getting some form of Brexit deal through Parliament.

She has offered cross-party talks to determine a way forward in the aftermath of her plan's rejection in the Commons.

Mrs May is expected to begin a series of meetings with "senior parliamentarians" on Thursday.

She has also told MPs she will return to the Commons with an alternative plan next week, provided she survives the confidence vote.

The government's employment minister, Alok Sharma, reiterates his support for Theresa May, who he says is "absolutely the right person to take this forward".

Asked whether Mrs May's loss last night was a failure, he says it was "clearly a disappointment for the whole government" but adds that he does not think "there is somebody else magically waiting in the wings to somehow make this better".

"She [Mrs May] carries on because she's the best person for the job," he says.

The Conservative MP adds: "I don't think you can rule anything out at this stage in terms of what happens.

"But if you want my personal opinion on this, it's that we need to get to a deal, we need to get this done and we need to leave with a negotiated deal at the end of March."

Dublin is playing this carefully.

The Irish government is reluctant to say anything that could further stoke tensions, but all the while acutely aware that time is running out.

It continues to ramp up no-deal preparations, including on key issues - such as transport and the supply of medicines.

The DUP says the scale of the defeat last night means the backstop cannot remain in the deal, but Irish thinking is unlikely to budge.

It is mindful of its often-repeated commitment to avoid the return of a hard Irish border, and has banked on the backstop being its insurance policy to ensure that.

It will now be looking to its support network in Brussels to stand firm in the face of any political pressure from Westminster.

5 live's Brexit Barometer is asking people what they think should happen now. Kirsty, from Conservative Young Women, says "we should prepare for a no deal Brexit":

The European Parliament's Brexit negotiator is urging British politicians to come together to agree a way forward.

Guy Verhofstadt says: "It's time now to tell our British friends that, for the sake of Britain itself, it's time for cross-party co-operation in Britain - as we do here in this parliament."

He says any delay to the UK's departure from the EU should not extend beyond European elections due in May.

"What we'll not let happen - deal or no deal - is that the controversy in British politics is now imported into European politics," he says.
