Mrs May has called for politicians to back her deal or risk "letting the British people down".

Some estimates suggest Mrs May could lose by more than 200 votes, with some MPs saying there should be another public vote.

Doncaster MP Ed Miliband is calling for clarity on tonight's vote.

The former Labour leader said: "Give this house an open and honest process where it can express its view, so the government becomes the servant of this house in the negotiations."

There are 71 staff members at the town centre store.

The announcement is one of 16 closures, which is part of a wider re-shape of the company.

A spokesperson for M&S said: "Proposing to close M&S Huddersfield has been a difficult decision and we will be fully supporting our colleagues during this process.

"We remain committed to serving the community from Halifax and our Huddersfield Simply Food store at Gallagher Retail Park."

David Sidebottom has now been found by police.

He was reported missing on Monday evening.

Speed camera vans are to be located at 55 different sites on roads in North Yorkshire as part of a two-week speed reduction campaign.

Police say the mobile safety cameras will be used on the A64, A65 and A1(M), three routes which see the most serious collisions, and roads policing officers will be "out in force".

Andy Tooke, from North Yorkshire Police's Traffic Bureau, says: "Excessive and inappropriate speed is consistently one of the common factors in the fatal and serious injury collisions we deal with.

"The safety cameras we use have been proven to reduce casualties by 20% when deployed to a site."

North Yorkshire Police recently revealed the highest speeds recorded by mobile safety cameras in 30mph community areas.

The highest was 82mph in a 30mph zone on Wetherby Road, Harrogate.

The People's Vote Campaign will gather outside Sheffield Town Hall at about 17:30 this evening, ahead of MPs voting on whether to back Theresa May's deal for leaving the EU.

Protesters are expected to hold cards saying, "We reject this Brexit deal" and, "We demand a people's vote" during the hour-long event.

Police in Leeds are expected to warn officials that the Harehills area of the city has a drink problem which has created an unofficial curfew for some residents.

The warning comes as the council considers whether to allow one of the area's off licences to sell drink 24 hours a day.

West Yorkshire Police say they've written a letter of objection to the plan saying Harehills Road and the off licences along it are already blighted by fighting, abusive behaviour and shouting.

Property is routinely damaged by drunken groups who gather outside places selling drink, according to police.

The force also says it knows of some residents who refuse to venture out after dark and claim mothers have had to steer pushchairs into the road due to groups of drinkers blocking pavements.

They're worried parts of the Offensive Weapons Bill will discriminate against them and want to see a trusted trader scheme introduced instead.

A ban on firms sending bladed weapons through the post is being considered by the government as part of its new Bill.

The restriction is designed to prevent potentially lethal implements falling into the wrong hands.

But cutlers in Sheffield say the changes could impact on their businesses.

Sheffield Central Labour MP, Paul Blomfield, who's helping with their campaign, says: "It's complete nonsense that the exemptions for sporting and ceremonial products mean you can send a sword through the post, under the government proposals, but not tableware."

Huddersfield Town are looking for a new boss following the shock departure of head coach David Wagner.

According to the club, the move was by "mutual consent" after Wagner said he needed a break from "the rigours of football management".

Wagner, 47, took over as Terriers boss in November 2015 and led them to promotion to the Premier League in 2017 via the Championship play-offs.

However, they've struggled this season and are eight points from safety after taking 11 points from 22 games.

Former Huddersfield Town goalkeeper Matt Glennon says Wagner has made "the ultimate sacrifice" for the good of the club.

He says: "Other clubs have brought in managers and had that bounce of a few wins and a few draws and got themselves out of relegation.

"Maybe for the sake of the club David's thought he can't go any further and maybe it's time for someone else."

Police in Bradford say they've discovered a cannabis farm after forcing their way into an address in the city.

Officers are now hoping to weed out those responsible for this collection of home grown plants:

Several performers said they were still owed money by Grotto Hire UK, owned by Agility Events.

Grotto Hire UK blamed a decline in sales and footfall for the company's "cash-flow problems".

Director Tony Jennings said the company was "extremely grateful" to employees and the issue would be resolved as soon as possible.

Student Nathan Major, who worked in Hull's Princes Quay over Christmas, said staff were owed thousands.

Workers were due to be paid on 10 January but found out in an email that payment would be delayed "due to non-payment by the shopping centres", he said.

Anna, another Hull worker who is usually a stay-at-home mum, said she was owed more than £1,000 for work in November and December.

She said working at Christmas had had a big impact on her two small children, who missed her "terribly".

Mr Jennings, who owns Agility Events in Hull, said: "It's with deep regret that we have faced cash-flow issues that have impacted on them."

It should stay largely dry this afternoon with a few spells of sunshine likely at times.

It'll stay mostly dry tonight with a lot of cloud.

The owner of one of Yorkshire's biggest haulage firms says he's having "sleepless nights" over fears he won't be able to get his fleet of 60 lorries into Europe if there's a no deal Brexit.

Kevin Hopper says his Wakefield-based firm alone will need 60 special permits to allow his trucks to cross the Channel, but the EU has only made 940 available.

Mr Hopper says that could leave thousands of firms without the right documents.

The majority of MPs across Yorkshire are expected to reject Theresa May's Brexit deal when it goes to a vote tonight.

The Prime Minister addressed the Commons yesterday in a last-ditch attempt at securing votes needed.

The so-called "meaningful vote" will take place later as five days of debate on Brexit comes to an end.

Some MPs are against the deal, saying it will leave the country worse off, but others believe it's the only way to secure Brexit.
