THE QUOTES

On another day of high drama in Westminste­r, MPs on both sides of the House made dramatic speeches, arguing passionate­ly for and against the PM’s deal

-

I will not negotiate a delay with the EU and neither does the law compel me to do so. Further delay would be bad for this country, bad for our EU and bad for democracy Prime Minister Boris Johnson

It’s an emphatic decision by this House that has declined to back the Prime Minister’s deal today, and clearly voted to stop a no-deal crash out from the European Union. The Prime Minister must now comply with the law Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn

Boris Johnson has been defeated on his appalling deal. The Prime Minister must now obey the law and secure an extension – or we’ll see him in court. It is vital that the opposition parties work together to ensure this Prime Minister secures an extension and takes no deal off the table SNP Westminste­r leader Ian Blackford

Hundreds of thousands of people are marching outside to demand a final say and a People’s Vote. The Prime Minister must now obey the law and send a letter asking for an extension to Article 50 Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson

The shorter the extension, the better. The whole point of the extension should be to quickly undo the damage which this deal does to the union. It could be done by Monday if there was a will DUP MP Sammy Wilson

I want to say to friends and colleagues across the House who helped us achieve this amendment that I believe to be profoundly in the national interest, that I am very grateful for that co-operation Independen­t MP Sir Oliver Letwin
