A government spokesman has said they are "disappointed" after a decision by the Supreme Court to refuse an appeal over a case around Article 50.

The case was first brought by pro-Remain Scottish politicians who want the European Court of Justice (ECJ) to clarify whether the notification to leave the EU can be withdrawn without permission from the EU's other member states.

The government argued for the Supreme Court to hear an appeal, but on Tuesday, three judges ruled again one.

A government spokesman said: "We are disappointed by the decision of the court and it remains a matter of firm policy that we will not be revoking Article 50."

Jacob Rees-Mogg said now was the moment for a confidence vote in Theresa May - otherwise she would lead the Tories into the next election.

Speaking after a launch event for the European Research Group's alternative vision for Brexit, he said getting the 48 letters had "shown to be quite difficult".

But, he added: "I think it is now or the prime minister will lead the Conservatives into the next election.

"You find MPs privately who will say to you they think that is a really good idea in any number and I would be quite surprised."

The Bank of England governor Mark Carney is asked by MPs about his statement that uncertainty around Brexit has reduced business investment, which has been contradicted by the CBI which said that there is little pent-up investment.

Mr Carney replies: "We think there is upside to investment if greater clarity is provided and we're hoping to provide some colour to the Committee when we're next here."

He said the Bank's agency network out in the field is conducting a Brexit survey of businesses to ask "precisely these questions: what will happen no deal and what will happen with a deal, both in terms of investment, activity and what they expect for employment".

He said early returns from the survey show that it's quite asymmetric "which is not a surprise".

Crispin Blunt says the issue of whether to oust Theresa May has been “a little bit too personal”.

The Tory MP said the way the European Research Group had “put itself in the frame” leading the charge against the PM “may not have been wise”.

But he called any leadership challenge a “second order issue” and whoever was in No 10 faces the challenge of getting the withdrawal agreement through parliament.

“The House of Commons in almost all certainty is going to say no [to the deal],” he told BBC News.

“Are the European Union going to offer us better terms? That looks as if that’s going to be a no too.”

Mr Blunt said it would then be up to the leader to prepare for going onto World Trade Organization rules – something he thinks will leave the UK “with an immensely strong hand, sitting with the money we would otherwise have put into the EU budget”.

“Our partners will need to decide if they are going to help make that process easy or not,” he added.

Leaving the European Union without a deal would be "a large negative shock to the economy", says Bank of England governor Mark Carney.

In the short term, trucks would be stuck at Dover and there would be "immediate friction costs" Mr Carney says.

He said more permanent issues for business would be any lost access to a major market and longer term trade costs.

For business, some capital and potentially some workers would be "stranded"

"It wouldn't be a happy situation to be in", he says. If there was a reduction in the supply output of the economy, that would mean lost jobs, lower wages, and higher inflation, Mr Carney says.

However, it's not in the interests in either party for this to happen, he says.

Labour MP Rushanara Ali says there is "no parliamentary majority" in the House Commons for the withdrawal agreement and asks where this leaves the Bank of England's preparations for Brexit.

Mr Carney says he would "defer to Parliamentarians" to decipher the range of potential scenarios and these discussions just reinforce the importance of being prepared.

Deputy Governor for Financial Stability at the Bank of England, Sir John Cunliffe says "it's our job to be prepared for the worst" and that people in the UK "can have assurance" they won't see a financial sector "meltdown" that they saw in 2008.

The prime minister faces criticism over her comments on ending EU free movement after Brexit.

The chief spokesman for the European Commission confirms that a meeting between Theresa May and the president of the Commission, Jean-Claude Junker, will take place at 17:30 CET (16:30 GMT).

A hearing on whether the UK can revoke its Article 50 request will go ahead next week after the Supreme Court refused an appeal from the government.

The case was first brought by pro-Remain Scottish politicians who want the European Court of Justice (ECJ) to clarify whether the notification to leave the EU can be withdrawn without permission from the EU's other member states.

The ECJ is due to hear the case on 27 November, but the British government asked the Supreme Court if it would hear an appeal against the case.

Today, three of the country's top judges rejected the application.

Conservative MP Chris Green said the process of getting a confidence vote in Theresa May will take “weeks”.

Asked by the BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire if he felt “a bit silly” as attempts to oust the PM have so far fallen flat, he said no.

“If people are slow about getting their letters in, that is up to them,” he said.

"I don't think many people are keen on this withdrawal proposal at the moment, it is going to be rejected. The prime minister has to face a vote."

Committee chair Nicky Morgan asks the governor of the Bank of England about Prime Minister Theresa May's proposed deal and how this might impact on the objectives of the Bank.

Mark Carney says he would "expect" that May's draft EU withdrawal agreement would "support economic outcomes" and welcomes the transition arrangements within it.

Mr Carney tells the committee that a "no deal, no transition Brexit" would be the "worst outcome" for the Bank of England.

The draft Brexit withdrawal agreement sets out how the UK leaves the European Union, scheduled for 29 March 2019.

The transition period (which the UK government calls "implementation period") begins on 29 March 2019 and lasts until 31 December 2020.
