Ahead of proposed meetings with the PM and her ministers today, what positions are other parties taking?

Labour - Jeremy Corbyn has said that before any "positive discussions" can take place, the prime minister should rule out a no-deal Brexit.

SNP - Ian Blackford, the SNP's Westminster leader, said that the extension of Article 50, the ruling out of a no-deal Brexit, and the option of a new EU referendum would have to form the basis of future discussions.

Plaid Cymru - Westminster leader Liz Saville Roberts has called for a no-deal Brexit to be ruled out and "a People's Vote on our European future" to be organised.

Lib Dems - Sir Vince Cable said he was encouraged by Mrs May's "willingness to talk about these issues in detail". The party's preferred choice is another referendum.

Green - Caroline Lucas said Mrs May must "urgently rule out the threat of a no-deal Brexit", and should organise another referendum.

Mrs May and other senior Conservatives may be willing to meet with those that oppose the PM's Brexit deal - but what are they willing to offer in terms of compromises?

When asked that question, Conservative Party chairman Brandon Lewis refused to give specifics.

He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that Mrs May would not consider a customs union and that he did not believe a new referendum was "the right way to go".

Theresa May is to meet MPs to try to find a way forward for Brexit, after her slim victory in the no-confidence vote last night.

The PM saw off a bid to remove her government from power by 325 to 306 votes, the day after her plan for leaving the EU was rejected.

Afterwards, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn refused to join talks unless the threat of a no-deal exit was ruled out.

But the prime minister is expected to hold meetings with both Tory Brexiteers and the DUP - both of whom rejected her withdrawal deal earlier this week - today.

And BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith said that Environment Secretary Michael Gove, Cabinet Office Minister David Lidington and Brexit Secretary Steve Barclay will also hold talks with senior opposition politicians.

Mrs May must present a new plan for EU withdrawal to Parliament by 21 January.

The BBC's political editor asks: Can Theresa May bring her critics on board?

Shadow chancellor John McDonnell told ITV's Peston he thought the Labour party and other opposition parties would now "take the lead" because the government "significantly failed to come up with anything they can get through their own party".

"This evening the government has won the confidence of parliament. This now gives us all the opportunity to focus on finding a way forward on Brexit.

I understand that to people getting on with their lives away from Westminster, the events of the past 24 hours will have been unsettling.

Overwhelmingly, the British people want us to get on with delivering Brexit and also address the other issues they care about, but the deal which I have worked to agree with the European Union was rejected by MPs - and by a large margin.

I believe it is my duty to deliver on the British people's instruction to leave the European Union and I intend to do so.

Now MPs have made clear what they don't want we must all work constructively together to set out what parliament does want.

That's why I'm inviting MPs from all parties to come together to find a way forward. One that both delivers on the referendum and can command the support of parliament.

This is now the time to put self-interest aside. I have just held constructive meetings with the leader of the Liberal Democrats and the Westminster leaders of the SNP and Plaid Cymru.

From tomorrow, meetings will be taking place between senior government representatives, including myself, and groups of MPs who represent the widest possible range of views from across parliament, including our confidence and supply partners, the Democrat Unionist Party.

I am disappointed that the leader of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, has not so far chosen to take part but our door remains open.

It will not be an easy task but MPs know they have a duty to act in the national interest, reach a consensus and get this done.

In a historic vote in 2016 the country decided to leave the EU. In 2017, 80% of people voted for parties that stood on manifestos promising to respect that result.

Now, over two-and-a-half years later, it's time for us to come together, put the national interest first, and deliver on the referendum."

BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg says what was missing from the prime minister's statement was "where she might be willing to give and take".

"For her enemies and rivals - and even her friends - that has been one of the issues with Brexit all along," Laura says.

"She has to, at some point ,be willing to give some ground."

But Laura says from talking to Theresa May's allies, it seems she still wants to see if she can find a way to get "the broad thrust of her agreement" through.

While there was little new in Theresa May's statement, BBC Newsnight's political editor Nicholas Watt says she "felt it was important to get out of the Commons chamber and address the people directly".

However he says her cabinet remains "deeply divided" over Brexit.

Newsnight has learned that a group of Brexiteer cabinet ministers are pushing for a "managed no deal" and an extension of one year to Article 50 to allow that to happen.

But Nick says other cabinet ministers will say "over my dead body" and the EU is unlikely to welcome the move either.

The BBC's political editor says Labour has been absolutely clear that unless the PM makes a statement saying the UK won't be leaving without some sort of managed process, Jeremy Corbyn isn't going anywhere near the talks.

That is a problem for Theresa May.

But she said it wasn't necessarily a straightforward judgement for the Labour party, because many people in the party don't want Brexit to happen.

Mr Corbyn could be quite easily be easily criticised for somehow helping the process if he attends the talks.

The prime minister says this is the time to put "self-interest" aside and her "door remains open" to Labour.

Theresa May says there is now an opportunity to find a way forward on Brexit.

She says she has met with the Lib Dems, SNP and Plaid Cymru and is "disappointed" Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has not chosen to take part in discussions.
