Labour amendment on its alternative plan defeated handsomely with far fewer votes than last month 323-240...

In theory Opposition now moves to public vote... but Corbyn’s retweet just after the defeat reiterated the “alternative deal”...
Starmer from earlier in the week - if Parliament rejects Labour deal [just happened and bigger defeat than last month], Opposition will deliver on promise to support public vote...

Labour source: “we now support Public Vote” - still push for a general election/ get the government to change its red lines, but “at the same time we will now back PV amendments”
Starmer in Commons earlier today: “If this amendment is defeated and the PM refuses to negotiate a close economic relationship, Labour will support or put forward an amendment in favour of a public vote. That public vote would include a credible leave option and Remain.”
Shadow Cabinet source: “We will push our Alternative plan as and when we can,and push for a General, but we cannot accept disastrous Tory Brexit and even if it gets through parliament we think it should be put to the public”
