Theresa May faces calls to quit ahead of Brexit indicative votes
Live: MPs take control of Parliament as they discuss Brexit options
The Prime Minister has faced calls to resign ahead of MPs casting their votes during a series of 'indicative votes' to decide Brexit's next steps.
MPs will decide on Wednesday which Brexit plan has the most support in Parliament after it seized control of the Commons agenda.
Speaker John Bercow has chosen eight motions MPs will vote on. These are:
No deal - moved by Tory MP John Baron.
Common market 2.0 - moved by Tory MP Nick Boles.
Efta and EEA - moved by Tory MP George Eustice.
Customs union - moved by Tory MP Ken Clarke.
Labour's alternative plan - moved by Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
Revocation to avoid no-deal - moved by SNP MP Joanna Cherry.
Confirmatory public vote - moved by Labour MP Dame Margaret Beckett.
Contingent preferential arrangements - moved by Tory MP Marcus Fysh.
Bercow ruled out again the possibility of a third meaningful vote on Theresa May's deal unless it had major changes. .
He said: "I understand the Government may be thinking about bringing a third meaningful vote before the House either tomorrow or even on Friday, if the House opts to sit that day.
"Therefore, in order there should be no misunderstanding, I wish to make clear that I do expect the Government to meet the test of change."
His comments came as Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay confirmed the Government will table a motion for the House to sit on Friday because "It is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it."
Moments after Bercow's comments Downing Street said that since the last meaningful vote, EU leaders had approved the agreement the Prime Minister had struck with European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker in relation to the temporary nature of the backstop.
At her press conference at the Brussels summit, the Prime Minister said she considered that to be a "significant development which gave extra reassurance".
The Prime Minister's official spokesman said that the UK's departure date - which had been due to be on Friday - had also changed.
Mrs May faced harsh criticism from MPs at Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday ahead of the ground-breaking vote - including calls for her to quit.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn told Mrs May: "This country is on hold while the Government is in complete paralysis.
"The vital issues facing our country from the devastation of public services to homelessness to knife crime have been neglected.
"The Prime Minister is failing to deliver Brexit because she can't build a consensus, is unable to compromise and unable to reunite the country. Instead she is stoking further divisions, she's unable to resolve the central issues facing Britain today and she is frankly unable to govern.
"The Prime Minister faces a very clear choice, the one endorsed by the country and many of her own party - either listen and change course, or go. Which is it to be?"
May defended the Government's record on public spending before adding: "The biggest threat to our standing in the world, to our defence and to our economy is sitting on the Labour frontbench."
SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford said: "It is becoming increasingly clear that the cost the Prime Minister will pay to force her disastrous deal through is the price of her departure.
"Yet again another Tory Prime Minister is willing to ride off into the sunset and saddle us with a crisis in the UK and an extreme right-wing Brexiteer coming into Downing Street. Does the Prime Minister feel no sense of responsibility for what she is about to do?"
Mrs May said: "It is my sense of responsibility and duty that has meant I have kept working to ensure Brexit is delivered."
Mr Blackford added: "She can still change course, it is not too late."
Conservative MPs are to be granted a free vote on all the indicative Brexit votes coming before the Commons on Wednesday evening, but Cabinet ministers will abstain, a Downing Street source has said.
Tory MPs will be whipped to oppose the business motion enabling the indicative votes, as Theresa May believes that the process raises concerning constitutional questions.
The source was unable to say whether, if the business motion was voted down, the Government would go ahead with its own procedure for establishing the views of the House, as set out by Cabinet Office minister David Lidington earlier this month.
Andrea Leadsom expressed her concerns of the "far-reaching implications" of the indicative vote and refused to comment on what difference it would make to the Brexit process if May were to resign.
The Brexiteer MP said: "The issue is that there are very, very strongly held views on all sides of the house.
"I’m a passionate Brexiteer but feel that the Prime Minister’s deal offers a compromise between delivering on the will of the people whilst enabling us at the same time to keep a close working relationship with our EU friends and neighbours."
But she refused to reveal what she thinks of Theresa May's future as PM:
Meanwhile, European Council president Donald Tusk has urged the European Parliament to prepare for further Brexit delays.
He wrote on Twitter:
He criticised MEPs who told him that possible UK participation in forthcoming elections to the European Parliament if Britain sought a longer extension to Article 50 would be "harmful or inconvenient".
Speaking at the European Parliament on Wednesday, Tusk also showed strong support for remainers who have spoken out against Brexit in recent weeks, including those who signed a petition to revoke Article 50 and those who took to the streets on March 23.
Verhofstadt attacked claims that the EU had tried to humiliate and punish the UK.
He told the European Parliament: "You know what the problem is? The problem of the humiliation and punishment is because of the mess in the Tory Party - there is the humiliation of the British people."
