The government hopes to hold a third so-called meaningful vote on Theresa May's Brexit deal this week, says Commons Leader Andrea Leadsom.

In an interview earlier this morning, she said she thought there was "a real possibility" of another vote.

"We are completely determined to make sure that we can get enough support to bring it back."

She added: "The prime minister said she is working hard, as many colleagues are, to persuade colleagues to support it."

Mrs Leadsom refused to be drawn on whether the PM should commit to standing down once the Withdrawal Agreement is passed in a bid to win over wavering MPs.

"I am fully supporting the prime minister to get us out of the EU," she said.

Asked if Mrs May should stand down after that, she said: "I think that is a matter for her. I am not expressing a view."

UKIP leader Gerard Batten says Britain is being governed by "a pack of traitors, quislings and collaborators".

"Theresa May has snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in a way unparalleled in the history of the world," he says.

"If the UK does not leave the EU on 29 March, it will mark the end of British democracy."

DUP MEP Dianne Dodds says: "The DUP wants to leave in an orderly fashion but this deal will destroy the constitutional integrity of the United Kingdom.

"It is not a price we are willing to pay," she says.

Senior Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg, who has been campaigning against Theresa May's deal, has suggested he would now support her deal, if she can win over the DUP.

Mr Rees-Mogg says he thought Mrs May's Brexit agreement was "not a good deal" that did not fully deliver on the 2016 referendum result.

"But we are seeing a concerted attempt to stop Brexit altogether," he says.

"I think ... we have got to the point where legally leaving is better than not leaving at all. Half a loaf is better than no bread."

Turning to the EU Summit Mr Farage says what happened "was a national humiliation".

"We have in Mrs May a prime minister who hasn't got the courage to take us out of the European Union this Friday," he says.

He suggests that MEPs are getting excited about the possibility of extending negotiations to allow for a fresh referendum.

However he asks them if they really want Brexit to "dominate business for years to come".

"Do you really want me back?" he asks.

"And all for what?" he says. "Brexit is going to happen."

Speed limiting technology looks set to become mandatory for all vehicles sold in Europe from 2022, after new rules were provisionally agreed by the EU.

The new rules are based on technical standards of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE).

The UK's relationship with the UNECE will be unaffected by Brexit, which means the changes will also apply to the UK.

“We continuously work with partners across the globe to improve the safety standards of all vehicles. These interventions are expected to deliver a step-change in road safety across Europe, including the UK," a Department of Transport spokesperson told the BBC.

“Intelligent speed assistance systems are expected to give drivers feedback when the speed limit is exceeded rather than limiting the speed, much like satellite navigation does now.”

Nigel Farage now gets to respond to Mr Verhofstadt's accusations that he is like Field Marshall Haig as represented in Blackadder.

"It was Field Marshal Haig who saved the Belgium town of Ypres from German domination," he says.

"Far from mocking Haig, he should be a great hero to you."

"What a sad place we are in on Brexit," says SNP MEP Alyn Smith

"So many issues we should be working on but we are distracted by a self-inflicted disaster.

"Colleagues, please don't close the door on us now.

"There are lots of us working hard to turn this around.

"I'm not asking you to solve our domestic issues, I am asking you to leave a light on so we can find our way home."

Guy Verhofstadt also says he believes "within a few generations there will be the return of Britain inside the European family of nations.

"That is the place of Britain - to be inside the European Union, not outside of the European Union."

European Parliament's Brexit negotiator Guy Verhofstadt notes that Nigel Farage is sitting in Parilament.

"I though he was marching," he says referring to a pro-Brexit march that has been taking place.

"You remind me more of more of Field Marshall Haig in Blackadder.

"You are sitting here in Strasbourg while your own people are marching in the rain."

Leader of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats Udo Bullman addresses his comments to Brexiteers.

"When are you going to pardon yourself to the British people for this torture they have suffered over the last two years?" he asks.

"When are you going to finally admit the total disaster that you have led everybody to under lies and deceptions?

"Apologise to the British people."

He adds that if there is a second vote on EU membership "the British people will tell you where to go".

Copyright laws which critics say could change the internet have been voted in by the European Parliament and make tech firms responsible for material posted without copyright permission.

Leader of the European People's Party Manfred Weber says the decision reached at the EU summit was "a good one".

On those fighting for staying inside the EU he says: "We are on their side."

However, on the subject of allowing the UK to take part in European elections - a possibility if Article 50 is extended further - he adds, "it is also important to explain to our citizens why a country that is leaving the EU should have a say in the future of EU.

"Hopefully MPs can manage it in a better way than the government in the last month," he adds.

President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker now speaks.

He says: “If you compared Great Britain to a sphinx, the sphinx would be an open book by comparison.

"Let's see how that book speaks over the next week or so."

MEPs are debating the outcome of last week’s summit where EU leaders agreed a plan to delay Brexit.

As well as Brexit, leaders also debated the economy, climate change and relations with China.

European Council President Donald Tusk, EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and the EU’s chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier are all speaking this morning.

MEPs do not get a say over the decision to extend the Article 50 process, although they will have to approve any withdrawal deal before it can come into effect.

Leaders of the assembly’s political groups welcomed the deal the UK reached with the EU in November, and have since insisted it cannot be renegotiated.

However several have said they would be open to offering the UK a closer relationship with the bloc by amending the Brexit political declaration, if the UK changes its red lines.

The 751-strong assembly has been co-ordinating its Brexit position through a small committee of senior MEPs known as the Brexit steering group.

President of the European Council Donald Tusk is addressing the European Parliament.

He tells MEPs that EU leaders agreed to extend Article 50 and then adds "Here let me make on personal remark."

"Before the European Council I said that we should be open to a long extension if the UK wishes to rethink its Brexit strategy," he says.

"Then there were voices saying this would be harmful or inconvenient to some of you.

"Let me be clear – such thinking is unacceptable.

"You cannot betray the 6 million people who signed the petition to revoke Article 50, the one million people who marched for a people’s vote, or the increasing majority of people who want to remain in the EU.

"They may feel that they are not sufficiently represented by their UK parliament.

"They must feel that they are represented by you in this chamber

"Because they are Europeans."

Good morning and welcome to our coverage of the latest Brexit developments.

MPs have been busily submitting their Brexit alternatives - including leaving without a deal, revoking Article 50 and everything in between.

You can read about MPs' proposals here.

The vote is expected to take place at 19:00 GMT and results should be announced later that evening.

The European Parliament will also debate last week's EU summit - including the extension to Article 50.

Theresa May has prime minister's questions and MPs will also debate changing Brexit day in UK law.

So, it is a busy day ahead.
