Labour whips have told MPs the no-confidence vote is likely to be tabled within hours of a government loss, with the actual vote taking place on Wednesday. Labour’s current policy is to seek to force an election, and if it wins, to renegotiate a new Brexit deal.

He pledged to back an amendment proposed by Labour MPs on the issue.
