  3. The morning after the night before...published at 10:07 Greenwich Mean Time 30 January 2019

    Theresa May is facing fresh talks with the European Union after MPs last night backed her to renegotiate part of the Brexit deal.

    At the heart of the dispute is the so-called “backstop” - which focuses on the future of the Irish border and is designed to avoid physical checks on the border after the UK has left the EU.

    The prime minister says she has a mandate to return to Brussels and re-open negotiations, after the Commons vote.

    But Brussels is insisting it won't alter the arrangement.

    Daily Mail

    While the Guardian paints a bleak picture for the prime minister, the Daily Mail suggests the events of Tuesday night were a "triumph" for her.

  12. 'Collision course with Brussels'published at 22:44 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January 2019

    When things seem confusing, make a list.

    Theresa May was heading for another defeat, but she ended up with an unconventional win - a win nonetheless.

    The Tory Party that was visibly split in two a fortnight ago is giving the impression of being largely united, even if that is temporary.

    Yet the prime minister only won because she gave into Brexiteer and DUP demands, by making a promise that she can't be sure she can keep - one the EU says at the moment is impossible.

  16. Cooper and Boles 'deeply concerned'published at 22:27 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January 2019

    Labour's Yvette Cooper and the Conservative Party's Nick Boles have released a statement following their failed bid to delay Brexit in order to prevent a no deal departure from the EU.

    They said they were "deeply concerned that there is no safeguard in place to prevent a cliff edge in March 2019".

    The statement said: "The prime minister promised a new meaningful vote on Feb 13 and a new amendable motion in the event that this motion is defeated or the government does not secure a new deal.

    "But we are running out of time. She will need to reflect the Commons opposition to no deal.

    "We will consider what amendments will be needed if at that point no progress has been made."

    Responding to the news that MPs have called for Mrs May to go back to the EU and renegotiate the backstop, the Irish government has issued a statement.

    It reads: "The EU position on the withdrawal agreement, including the backstop, is set out in the conclusions of the December meeting of the European Council. It has not changed.

    "The Withdrawal Agreement is not open for re-negotiation."

    The statement continues: "The agreement is a carefully negotiated compromise, which balances the UK position on customs and the single market with avoiding a hard border and protecting the integrity of the EU customs union and single market.

    "The best way to ensure an orderly withdrawal is to ratify this agreement."

  20. 'No majority to re-open' withdrawal agreementpublished at 22:13 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January 2019

    Guy Verhofstadt - Brexit coordinator for the European Parliament - reiterates statements by Donald Tusk and the Irish government that there is no appetite for reopening negotiations around the withdrawal agreement.
