The government did not necessarily lose control of Brexit last night, former minister Steve Brine says.

"That depends on how they and MPs respond to what happened," he tells BBC Radio 4's Today programme.

But "something has got to change" to break the "maddening impasse" MPs find themselves in, he says.

He describes Monday night's vote as the beginning of Plan B.

Steve Brine, one of three Conservative ministers who quit last night, says he supports Mrs May's deal and that Monday's vote might "focus some minds".

Labour MP Hillary Benn, who chairs the committee for leaving the EU tells the BBC's Today programme: “Last night’s motion would not have been necessary if the government was doing it’s job - if the government had facilitated, set out a proposal to do precisely this."

"But they failed to do so and if the government isn’t going to do it’s job then Parliament is going to have to take responsibility, and that’s what we’re doing."

He says Wednesday's vote would not give MPs the option to vote "preferentially" - they would only vote for the options they supported.

On Wednesday night, MPs would see which were the most popular options, but might then change the voting system next week in a bid to "narrow it down".

"In the end, if Parliament is able to come up with a way forward - the question is whether the government is prepared to compromise and this goes to the heart of the problem," Mr Benn says.

Sir John Curtice, professor of politics at Strathclyde University, analyses all the latest data for us to answer some of the big questions.

He says the polls have for some time been indicating that slightly more people now say they would vote Remain than Leave if another ballot was held.

At present, the average level of support for the two options (after Don't Knows are excluded) is Remain 54%, Leave 46%.

In part, this is because Leave voters are a little less likely to say they would vote the same way again (82%), than Remain voters are (86%).

But the swing to Remain, such as it is, is also down to those who did not vote in 2016. Of this group, 43% say they would vote Remain, whereas 19% say they would back Leave.

In truth, the polls are too close for opponents of Brexit to assume that a second ballot would produce a different result.

But, equally, supporters of Brexit cannot say with confidence that the balance of opinion remains as it was in June 2016.

German businesses do not want the UK to be given any concessions on top of the Brexit withdrawal agreement, a boss of a major industry association tells BBC Radio 4's Today programme.

Dr Volker Treier, deputy chief executive officer at the Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce, says 85% of the group's members believe the integrity of the single market is of "higher value than further damage in German-British relations".

"They stick to the European Union as it is… This is the red line," he says.

He agrees when asked if German companies were actively thinking about either changing their investment plans away from the UK or relocating existing facilities.

He says companies that had invested in the UK were “stockpiling” because of fears the supply of goods would be interrupted.

“Firms try to prepare themselves but it’s not easy, and it’s not easy because they do not know what will happen," he adds.

BBC political correspondent Nick Eardley considers what the vote by MPs to take control of Commons business means for the government and the Brexit process.

Last night, MPs backed cross-party plans to hold a series of votes to help determine the next steps in the Brexit process. The measure was passed by 329 votes to 302.

It means that MPs can take control of the agenda in the House of Commons on Wednesday, when they are expected to vote on a series of different ways forward, known as indicative votes.

Taking back control has been a theme of Theresa May's Brexit vision but Tuesday's front pages reveal that MPs have "seized control" of the process, after yet another government defeat in the Commons.

That's the phrase used by the Times, which says the move is likely to begin a process that could result in Parliament backing a "softer" Brexit, meaning one with a closer relationship to the EU than that set out by the prime minister.

The paper adds that some of Mrs May's closest allies appear to be abandoning her, with her former de facto deputy, Damian Green, voting against the government.

The Daily Express blames what it calls "Remainer MPs" for the outcome, under the headline: "They've now stolen what's left of Brexit".

It claims MPs are trying to thwart the result of the referendum and says the ensuing deadlock could result in a general election.

The Guardian says the country has lurched deeper into what it calls "Brexit paralysis", with Mrs May pulling plans for a third vote on her deal but saying she hoped it could still win support.

It adds that she failed to set out any alternative to her plan, and declined to say whether she would abide by the outcome of any votes in Parliament on different options.

The Daily Mirror's front-page take is "Clueless May loses control of Brexit deal".

It says the prime minister is under mounting pressure to admit her proposed deal is dead, and to come up with a Plan B.

It adds that she's angered and alienated Brexiteers by saying that no-deal is no longer an option.

Welcome back to our live coverage of all the latest Brexit developments.

Following a night of high drama as MPs voted to take control of Commons business, expect to hear this morning from Health Secretary Matt Hancock, senior Labour MP Hilary Benn and Richard Harrington, one of three Conservative ministers who resigned last night to vote against the government.

We're expecting to find out more about how the so-called indicative votes could work.

We know MPs will be able to vote on a number of options - likely to include a "softer Brexit", a customs union with the EU and another referendum - designed to test the will of Parliament to see what, if anything, commands a majority.

The precise format of the votes and how they will work should become clearer through the course of the day.

That's all from our live coverage for today - after MPs voted tonight to take control of the parliamentary agenda on Wednesday in a move to find a majority for any Brexit option.

It tees up another big day in the Commons, when MPs will get a series of votes to find out what kind of Brexit they will support.

There's still much to be discussed in the meantime - including precise details of how the votes will work, which was not set out in the amendment approved tonight.

Prime Minister Theresa May indicated earlier that she will engage with MPs over the result of the votes but said there is no guarantee she will abide by their decision.

For now though, goodnight.

The government's latest defeat could be the start of a journey to a softer Brexit or the beginning of the next stage of a standoff between the executive and Parliament.

House of Commons
Parliament

Liberal Democrat leader Sir Vince Cable intervenes to say MPs have made a “major constitutional innovation" by taking control over Wednesday's parliamentary agenda.

In response, Tory Brexiteer Sir Bill Cash says the move was a "constitutional revolution", adding: "the House will come to regret it".
