British MP’s have voted against Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit deal by a large margin, which has triggered political upheaval that could result in a reversal of the 2016 referendum to leave the European Union.

MP’s voted by 432 votes to 202 to reject the deal, which is the largest parliamentary defeat for a government in recent British history and displays a lack of confidence in government, according to Opposition Leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Mrs May, however, has signalled her intentions to carry on in a statement to MP’s after the vote, stating "The House has spoken and this government will listen."
