Theresa May says none of the amendments she has addressed so far will deliver Brexit, they just delay it.

"Delay without a plan is not a solution, it is a road to nowhere," she says.

She has attempted to reach consensus across the debate, with the government accepting that the UK leaving the EU cannot result in any lower of standards in relation to workers' rights, the environment and health and safety.

Future EU proposals on this will also be considered by MPs, she says.

This is an acceptance of a proposal by Labour MP John Mann, who tabled a similar amendment to the meaningful vote, although it was not accepted for a vote.

Some political commentators say Theresa May is being "skewered" by Labour's Yvette Cooper, whose amendment will be debated later.

Ms Cooper's amendment attempts to rule out the UK leaving the EU without a deal by extending Article 50.

On Labour's amendment, Theresa May says "we should not indulge" this amendment. She states that Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn "now wants a permanent customs union".

"He hasn't got a clue, he's still facing both ways on whether Labour would keep freedom of movement," she continues.

She says it is time for Jeremy Corbyn "to step up to the responsibility of being Leader of the Opposition" and to sit down with her for talks on next steps.

Conservative MP Caroline Spelman has defended her amendment which has been picked by the Speaker for debate later.

The amendment attempts to prevent a no-deal Brexit by adding to the PM's motion that Parliament "rejects the United Kingdom leaving the European Union without a Withdrawal Agreement and a Framework for the Future Relationship".

Ms Spelman said she wanted to make "absolutely clear" that her amendment "is not in any way an attempt to block or delay Brexit."

On Labour MP Yvette Cooper's amendment, Theresa May says it does not prevent no-deal, it simply delays the process.

She says the EU are unlikely to extend Article 50 without a credible plan for how a deal is going to be approved.

"The practical consequences of her amendment would not be to rule out no-deal, but to delay Brexit, a course of action this House should not support," she says.

Ms Cooper questions whether if a deal is not reached or if Parliament votes for an extension of Article 50 to avoid no-deal on 29 March, Theresa May will respect the decision and extend Article 50.

Theresa May says that if a deal is not agreed on, or no deal is found, MPs will have the chance to express their views further on no-deal.

"The British people just want to see this done," she says, "extending Article 50 does not rule out no-deal."

Some political commentators have tweeted praise for Theresa May's performance in the Commons so far.

On the Cooper and Grieve amendments, Mrs May says such means would be "deeply misguided and not a responsible course of action".

She warns against the long term implications of the proposals in terms of impact on the relationship between Parliament and the executive.

Neither amendment actually delivers the best way of reaching a conclusion, which is by seeking deal that MPs can support. It is best to focus all energies on getting such a deal that delivers Brexit, not delaying it, she says.

Supporting Sir Graham Brady's amendment, seeking "alternative arrangements to the backstop" is a way of achieving that, she says.

Pushed for further detail on this, she says the term is recognised in the withdrawal agreement and the political declaration.

Theresa May continues to say that she will bring back a revised deal "as soon as we possibly can".

If that is rejected, then MPs will have a chance to debate and vote on an amendable motion the following day.

So - if no new deal has been agreed by 13 February - then she will make a statement then and, again, table an amendable motion for debate the next day (14 Febuary).

Theresa May says that, referring to Conservative MP Caroline Spelman's amendment, she too wants to avoid leaving without a deal. "I don't want to put at risk all the hard work that has seen this government deliver wage growth and record employment."

However she says the amendment is "missing the other half of the equation" because the only way to avoid a no deal is to agree a deal that the House supports, and that this is why she wants to return to Brussels.

Theresa May says she will bring a revised deal back to the House for a second meaningful vote "as soon as we possibly can".

The Speaker, John Bercow, has picked the Brexit amendments which will be debated by MPs this afternoon. Included within the seven amendments are several which have been widely discussed.

They include the amendment by Labour MP Yvette Cooper - which is attempting to rule out a no-deal Brexit by seeking to postpone Brexit day (currently 29 March) until 31 December if no Brexit deal is agreed.

It has the backing of senior Conservative backbenchers and the Labour leadership has ordered Labour MPs to vote for it.

Also selected is Sir Graham Brady's amendment, which the government has asked MPs to support.

His amendment calls for Parliament to require the backstop to be replaced with "alternative arrangements to avoid a hard border" but would otherwise support the prime minister's deal.

And Caroline Spelman's amendment attempts to prevent a no-deal Brexit by adding a line to the PM's motion, that Parliament "rejects the United Kingdom leaving the European Union without a Withdrawal Agreement and a Framework for the Future Relationship".

Theresa May says that the Commons has a chance to show the EU "what it will take" to get an agremeent through the Commons.

She states that the proposal put forward by the government is the best for the economy and also in honouring the referendum result.

This is a way of showing the EU what the Commons does not want, and what it will be prepared to back, she adds.

Moving the motion, Theresa May says the House has made it clear it does not want no-deal or a general election and that there is no majority for a second referendum, but that she also accepts MPs do not support her deal.

Today we need to send an emphatic message about what we do want, she says, an agreement that works for the UK and the EU 27.

The prime minister says it means caring about every part of the United Kingdom and keeping the country safe.

Theresa May has arrived in the Commons ahead of opening today's debate on the Brexit motion in a few moments time.

The PM has left Downing Street and is due to open the debate in the House of Commons.

The debate was due to start at 13:45 GMT.

The only thing the EU would consider at this stage would be to look at the future relationship that may exist between the UK and the EU, writes our Europe correspondent.

The EU suggests it would consider building a closer relationship between the UK and EU, but needs clear signals and a sense that the prime minister can actually get whatever she decides to ask the EU for through Parliament.
