Goodbye from the Holyrood Live team on Wednesday 27 March 2019.

The Scottish Parliament has voted for Brexit to be cancelled if the UK faces leaving the EU without a deal.

MSPs voted by 89 to 28 for a motion calling for Article 50 to be revoked as a last resort if a so-called People's Vote does not happen.

The motion was lodged by the Greens and was backed by the SNP and Labour, who both added their own amendments to it.

The result is largely symbolic, but will increase the pressure on the UK government.
