Brexit vote in the news ticker: May delivers the last appeal in the lower room – brings change of strategy in the round?

+++ Welcome to the live ticker for the Brexit vote. We report live the discussion and the decision of the parliamentarians in the British House of Commons.

>>> <<< UPDATE

21:

The President of the Council of the European Union, Donald Tusk, deplored the failure of the Treaty on Brexit in the British House of Commons. "If an agreement is impossible and no one wants a no-deal, who will have the courage to say which is the only positive solution?" He asked Tusk on Tuesday on Twitter.

This would increase the risk of a UK exit from the EU without a contract, added Tusks spokesman. "We do not want this to happen, but we will be prepared to do it". The EU will continue to be closed and to act responsibly. It will continue to ratify the exit agreement despite the rejection of the British House of Commons.

20:55: The debate in the lower house continues. In the meantime, there are some urgent questions: first, if Theresa May will survive Wednesday's vote of no confidence – and especially if a disorderly Brexit is still avoided. A perspective on possible further developments can be found in this article.

Brexit vote in the House of Commons: Corbyn launches a no confidence motion in May – probably Wednesday's decision

20:48: Ian Blackford from the Scottish National Party is asking May to "take responsibility" – he welcomes the motion of no confidence. Now discussions are needed with all the leaders of the opposition parties, there is no majority for this agreement.

20.45 clock: Corbyn also arrives at the word. May refused to engage in dialogue, he exclaims. "He can not believe that, after two years of failure, he will negotiate a good deal for our people," he underlines. It is important to clarify whether the administration of May still has Parliament's confidence – filed a motion of no confidence, proclaims Corbyn.

20.40 clock: "Obviously this was a refusal, but that does not say anything beyond what actually supports the lower room," May says in her first reaction. We need to think of solutions that seem "able to negotiate" and find approval in parliament, underlines May – which seems well conceived. Their government wanted to stick to the Brexit. The government wants to discuss a vote of no confidence tomorrow, he said, referring to a threat from Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Vote on Brexit in the lower house: the result is here – May loses

20:39: Theresa May lost the vote. There are 202 votes against 432 no.

20:36: The announcement of the result should be imminent.

20:31: After the vote in the Hammersprung procedure, the room fills up again. A result has not yet been announced.

20:23: The potentially explosive amendment by John Baron has been rejected. 600 of the 650 members of the lower house voted "no", only 24 with "yes". This is what John Bercow has just announced. Members are now moving towards the long-awaited (senior) vote on the Brexit affair.

20:17: Now that three of the four amendments have been withdrawn, a vote on the Theresa May project is awaited. According to a report by Standard of the evening it could be at 20:30 clock German time so far.

Vote on Brexit in the lower house: three out of four amendments withdrawn

20:13: The House of Commons has now withdrawn three out of four amendments to the United Kingdom Government's motion for a resolution on the Brexit agreement. Only the request of the conservative John Baron, who is a clear supporter of a British exit from the European Union, must be voted. In application, it requires a non-participation clause from the contested guarantee for an open border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, as enshrined in the Brexit agreement. If the proposal unexpectedly finds a majority, Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit agreement in its current form would be a waste.

20:02: The debate ended in time. MEPs stand up and are about to vote: four amendments must be decided. These votes will be made before the actual vote on the Brexit agreement.

Two of the motions are directly contrary to the Brexit agreement. Two others provide the condition for a one-way exit clause for London. Therefore, the agreement in its current form would also be to lose. However, one of the amendments is unlikely to be accepted.

– Work amendment: The Labor party's amendment rejects the May Brexit agreement and also a withdrawal without agreement. Instead, he calls for a closer connection with the EU.

– SNP amendment: The Scottish National Party and the Welsh Plaid Cymru also want to reject the agreement directly with their amendment and request the postponement of Brexit.

– Leigh-amendment: The hardliners Brexit Edward Leigh wants to assert a unilateral right of termination for London from the withdrawal agreement.

– Baron-amendment: John Baron, also a Tory brexiter, calls for an opt-out clause from the controversial guarantee of an open border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, as enshrined in the Brexit agreement.

It is the most important vote in the political careers of all parties, he continues. The decision "will define the United Kingdom for the next decades". "We can choose to keep our promise and not undermine trust in politics," May appealed to parliamentarians.

Then you have to look carefully, how many votes are missed and where you can still bid in London to avoid a messy Brexit at the end. It was important to find a solution through diplomatic channels.

"My impression is that it will not go completely without a German initiative," Dobrindt continued. There was a "very clear attitude of Brussels", which also wanted to keep the English mistake of this decision.
