The president of the Confederation of British Industry, John Allan, urges politicians from all parties to come together to try to find a way out of a perilous situation.

He says businesses are hugely concerned at the prospect of a no-deal Brexit - and trading on World Trade Organisation terms.

He tells Radio 4's Today programme the notion that "we're the only major nation on earth operating just on WTO terms seems to me to be saying we're confident we have a mile race but we'll give everyone else a lap start - and don't worry, we're so good we're going to make it up."

He adds: "Frankly, I think that's cloud cuckoo land."

Leading Conservative Brexiteer Steve Baker says Theresa May's Brexit deal cannot be resuscitated after it suffered a huge defeat in Parliament.

Mr Baker, deputy chairman of the Eurosceptic European Research Group (ERG), told Radio 4's Today programme: "There is no getting away from it. That was an absolutely devastating blow."

However, he says he will support Mrs May's government in the confidence vote later, adding that the government must find a new plan and be prepared to leave the EU without a deal.

The boss of one of the leading business organisations tells the BBC that a fifth of businesses could change their hiring plans if there's likely to be a no-deal Brexit.

Adam Marshall, director general of the British Chambers of Commerce, tells Wake Up To Money that the whole political process has let business down.

"Every business will be taking different steps, I'm worried about the ones which don't have the resources or cannot spare the money to prepare for four or five different outcomes."

The EU's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier says Brussels "profoundly regrets" the Commons vote on Theresa May's withdrawal agreement after two years of negotiation "based on the red lines of the British government".

He says the EU is now looking to Theresa May to provide clarity from the UK over the next couple of days.

He adds the EU still hopes to avoid a no-deal Brexit but countries are stepping up their preparations.

Germans have been watching the latest Brexit saga unfold with a degree of horrified fascination.

Dr Volker Treier of the German Chambers of Industry and Commerce says an extension to Article 50 would be a bad idea - "better a horrible ending than unending horror".

German chancellor Angela Merkel hasn't spoken publicly yet - but her economy minister Peter Altmaier says Britain needs to decide exactly what it wants. Then perhaps they can start talking.

He says what the Germans would really like is for Britain to rule out a no-deal Brexit.

He and other ministers have said there will be no substantial change to what was previously on the table.

Labour MP David Lammy says party leader Jeremy Corbyn should back calls for another referendum if, as expected, the confidence vote in Theresa May's government fails.

He says Mr Corbyn would effectively be "co-operating with a Brexit that's running into the sand" if he doesn't.

He tells Radio 4's Today programme: "What he's got to do is be courageous, be honest, and get behind a people's vote."

Shadow chancellor John McDonnell says he was shocked by last night's result, which shows anything can happen - including a triumph for Labour's vote no of confidence in the government.

He says: "People don't expect us to win it but who can tell... What we expect to happen is proper negotiations and discussions to see if a compromise can be reached.

"The problem we've got now is that Theresa May has said she wants to enter into discussions but she hasn't shown she will enter them with Jeremy Corbyn.

"Now (that's) what we're concerned about - she never picked up the phone in those two years - to say is there a way to talk, to compromise."

BBC Breakfast

Speaking in Strasbourg this morning, Dutch MEP Sophie in't Veld says MPs must unite and determine what they want.

"This has been the problem all along that the parties have been unable to sit down and agree.

"I would strongly recommend all the parties come together and unite in the interest of the UK."

She adds: "We never wanted the UK to leave - so if they come to that conclusion (not to leave) then we would be very happy."

Apologising to the people for the outcome of last night's vote, Conservative former Education Secretary Nicky Morgan says: "I'm really sorry, we didn't need to be in this situation - the government's known since December 2016 that this was going to happen... it's about building a consensus and I'm sorry that hasn't happened."

Despite the devastating outcome of the vote for the prime minister, Ms Morgan says she believes the general public are "still on her (Mrs May's) side".

She adds: "The story of the next couple of weeks is going to be how does the house move towards a consensus."

"Theresa May's red lines are going to have to change quite substantially", in order to find a consensus, she says, adding: "She doesn't want a no deal situation."

After MPs voted against Theresa May's Brexit deal by a huge majority, BBC political analyst Peter Barnes looks at the possible scenarios:

1. No deal

If nothing else happens, the default position would be a no-deal Brexit. The UK is due to leave the EU on 29 March.

2. Major renegotiation

The government could propose to negotiate a new Brexit deal - this could require an extension of Article 50 to delay Brexit.

3. Another referendum

The government could instead choose to have another referendum, although there would have to be a new piece of legislation to make it happen.

4. Call a general election

Mrs May could decide that the best way out of the deadlock would be to hold an early general election - in order to get a political mandate for her deal. She would need two-thirds of MPs to support the move.

5. Other possibilities

These include the UK deciding to unilaterally revoke Article 50 to cancel Brexit, or Mrs May resigning which would trigger a Tory leadership campaign.

One result of the uncertainty surrounding Brexit could be a delay to any further rises in interest rates from the Bank of England.

Silvia Dall’Angelo, senior economist at fund managers Hermes, tells BBC Radio 4's Today programme that the Bank of England has "missed its opportunity to hike rates".

BBC Radio 5 live

Anand Menon, director of Brexit think-tank UK in a Changing Europe, has been speaking to Nicky Cambell on BBC Radio 5 live about what happens next:

"The prime minister wants this vote of no confidence, because what she wants is to get the idea of a general election off the table.

"She’ll come back to the house on Monday, she’ll make a statement and crucially at that point, MPs can amend that statement. So what we’re probably going to see is a lot of votes on amendments calling for a referendum, calling for a Norway outcome…

"Whilst MPs are very clear about what they don’t want, there is no option as yet that commands majority support, so that will be taken by the prime minister as a legitimisation to go back to Brussels and try and again, and she will, as you say, just keep on going."

Norman Smith says the confidence vote in Theresa May's government later is a "distraction" from the Brexit process.

Mrs May will win the vote, he says, with Northern Ireland's DUP and Tory rebels saying they will back the PM.

He adds that it will clear the air but it "delays the process by another 24 hours when we know the clock is ticking".

Scotland's first minister is en-route to London to meet SNP MPs, saying another referendum on Brexit is now the "only credible option".
