Prime Minister Theresa May has suffered another Commons defeat after MPs voted down her approach to Brexit talks.
MPs voted by 303 to 258 - a majority of 45 - against a motion endorsing the government's negotiating strategy.
The defeat has no legal force and Downing Street said it would not change the PM's approach to talks with the EU.
But Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn urged Mrs May to "admit her Brexit strategy has failed" and to come forward with a plan Parliament would support.

A pity the Tories held their no confidence vote last December. Now they can’t do another one til December 2020 or they can call for a general election, dump May and take their chances but all too late.
This s a game of chicken between three entities, Ireland, GB and the EU. Which two swerve first?
