The clock is ticking, and Britain is edging closer to a no-deal Brexit.

Theresa May has abruptly called off tomorrow's parliamentary vote on her deal, after admitting she would have lost.

She still remains confident of getting the deal passed in another vote early next year.

May was told her Brexit deal would have been "rejected by a significant margin" if MPs had voted on it today.

"She wants to go back and try and renegotiate aspects of the deal with the EU before she tries again"
