British Prime Minister Theresa May has been defeated in a symbolic vote in parliament on her Brexit strategy, undermining her negotiating strength in talks with the European Union to secure changes to the agreement.
MPs voted by 303 to 258 to reject a motion asking them to reaffirm support for Mrs May's plan to seek changes to her Brexit deal.
The defeat came after the pro-Brexit Tory European Research Group announced they had taken a "collective decision" to abstain.
