By A Correspondent| Below were the LIVE scenes Friday afternoon as MPs rejected Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit deal for a third time.

The deal was rejected by 344 votes to 286.

May had offered her Tory party colleagues a proposal that she would resign if it passed.

Brexit-backing Conservative backbenchers who had rejected the deal in the first two meaningful votes, including the former Brexit secretary Dominic Raab, switched sides during the debate, to support the agreement.

Speaking afterwards, May told MPs: “the implications of the house’s decision are grave,” and added: “I fear we are reaching the limits of this process in this house.”

She added: “This government will continue to press for the orderly Brexit that the result of the referendum demands.”
