Wednesday will see MPs vote on whether to rule out a no-deal Brexit after the PM's own Brexit deal was defeated.
Defending her controversial decision to allow Tory MPs a free vote on no deal, which will incense Brexiteers, the Prime Minister said:"I have personally struggled with this choice as I am sure many other MPs will.
"And I am conscious also of my duties as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of the potential damage to the Union that leaving without a deal could do when one part of our country is without devolved governance.
Concluding her post-vote statement to MPs, the Prime Minister said:"Voting against leaving without a deal and for an extension does not solve the problems we face."This House will have to answer that question. Does it wish to revoke Article 50? Does it want to hold a second referendum? Or does it want to leave with a deal but not this deal?
Mr Corbyn said his party would once more put forward its own proposal for a deal and repeated his demand for a general election.
