Speaking after the vote on the Letwin amendment, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn says MPs "should now have the opportunity to scrutinise the government's plans".

He adds: "But primarily the prime minister must acknowledge that he will abide by the Benn Act and make sure we do not crash out with no-deal, therefore there has to be an application for an extension.

"I hope the Commons on Monday will reiterate its view that we do not support or agree with the deal that he has brought back, and ensure that we do not crash out with no-deal.

"This deal that the UK has with the EU is not acceptable."

That's it for today in the House of Commons.

"Order, order," says Speaker John Bercow, as the MPs still in the chamber depart.

The SNP's Pete Wishart says the prime minister should go along to Strictly Coming Dancing later and sign the letter to the EU requesting a Brexit day there and then. Speaker John Bercow laughs but does not agree or disagree.

Supporters of the "People's Vote" campaign - which supports another public poll on leaving the EU - continue to march through central London towards Parliament Square.

Protesters cheered with joy as MPs backed the Letwin amendment in the House of Commons, which withholds approval of Mr Johnson's deal and forces him to seek a delay.

A number of celebrities and politicians have joined the march, with London Mayor Sadiq Khan speaking at a rally in Parliament Square this afternoon.

He tells the Commons his amendment means it's impossible for the UK "to crash out without a deal".

Jeremy Corbyn says Boris Johnson ''can no longer use the threat of a no deal crash out to blackmail members''.

Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage has again voiced his opposition to Boris Johnson's Brexit deal, which he earlier called "the second worst deal in history" after Theresa May's withdrawal agreement.

In a tweet, he claims the European Research Group, made up of Tory Brexiteers, are "now backing an EU treaty that is 95 percent the same as Mrs May's".

"They are putting party before country," he says.

ERG leaders earlier urged its members to vote for Mr Johnson's deal.

The EU is not going to rush to take any action following this vote.

As far as it is concerned, it has negotiated a new Brexit deal as requested by the UK government and now it is up to that government to sell that deal.

There is zero appetite in the EU to renegotiate the deal and, if the EU receives a request for a new Brexit extension, don't expect a rush on the EU's side to grant it.

In order to approve or discuss a new extension all EU leaders would have to come back to Brussels, which they left less than 24 hours ago.

The EU Commission now waits to hear from Boris Johnson about what has changed because he promised them at the summit just 24 hours ago that the new Brexit deal would be voted on in Parliament, and approved by the majority of MPs.

If push comes to shove, I cannot see EU leaders saying no to another request for an extension if the alternative would be a no-deal Brexit, which they have wanted so much to avoid.

But that is now all to unfold in the days to come.

Lib Dem MP Chuka Umunna - formerly of Labour and Change UK - says "it was a bad deal that was being put in front of us".

"Parliament wanted to scrutinise it more which is what the Letwin amendment has allowed us to do," he says.

"The big question is whether the prime minister is going to comply with the law and send the letter that he is now required to send under the Benn Act."

Mr Umunna is referring to the letter to the EU asking for a delay to Brexit, which Boris Johnson must do under a law called the Benn Act which was passed in September. (The Benn Act was named after the Labour's Hilary Benn, who helped draft it)

"I think he will do that because if he doesn't do it by, I think it's 11pm today, he will be in contempt of court because the government has giving undertakings to a Scottish court that they will send that letter," adds Mr Umunna.

"He can still send that letter at the same time as pursuing his bill. The question is when we will get a response from the European Union to that confirming that an extension has been granted so we don't drop out of the European Union without a deal in the near term."

"I'm fed up," says Tory MP and ardent Brexiteer Peter Bone, when asked what he makes of the events today.

"It's been a complete waste of time, nothing's happened, and it's spoilt my birthday."

"It's my birthday and I've had to be here talking to you, rather than eating cake," he tells BBC chief political correspondent Vicki Young.

"That doesn't sound good for anyone," she replies.

Birthday boy Mr Bone earlier suggested he would vote for Boris Johnson's deal today if he made it clear the Brexit transition period would end on 31 December 2020 and no later.

Boris Johnson says he is not compelled to ask for a delay to Brexit, despite Letwin amendment vote.

Jared O'Mara - the Sheffield Hallam MP who has said he will quit the Commons - is in Parliament and voted today, according to BBC News political reporter Liz Roberts.

Mr O'Mara has attracted controversy, with some constituents complaining that they have been left without representation in Parliament. He was elected as a Labour MP, but quit the party to sit as an independent.

He announced he would resign earlier this year, but has since postponed standing down.

The legislation - that withdrawal agreement bill - will be introduced to the House of Commons early next week.

It would mean potentially a big vote on Tuesday night, on what's called a second reading (that's the first stage of any bill that goes through this place).

That will be a big moment because that could be, if it gets through a second reading, the first time that the House of Commons has backed any kind of withdrawal agreement to do with Brexit.

So that is now being seen potentially as an alternative to the big meaningful vote that we might have had today.

And there's still a possibility - although not a large one - but there's still a possibility that if that bill gets through the House of Commons and the House of Lords by the 31 October, that we still do leave with a deal on the 31 October.
