The UK parliament is debating Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit deal with the European Union, as the date for the country to leave the bloc nears.
May is seeking changes to her deal with Brussels after it was rejected by a record majority in parliament last month.
She has said she wants to bring a revised deal back to parliament for a vote later in February.
In the session today, which you can watch in the player above, May is asking parliament to “reiterate its support for the approach to leaving the EU (European Union) expressed by this House on 29 January 2019 and notes that discussions between the UK and the EU on the Northern Ireland backstop are ongoing.”
Speaker John Bercow will also select amendments to the deal for MPs to vote on tonight.
The amendments that have been tabled include one from the Labour Party, which calls on the government to either give parliament a vote on a revised deal or a chance to express its opinion on what happens next by February 27.
Another put forward by lawmakers from both May’s Conservative Party and the Labour Party calls on the government to publish, within seven days, its latest analysis of the impact of a no-deal Brexit on business and trade.
