The front pages of Britain’s national newspapers have outlined the “crisis” ahead after Theresa May’s Brexit deal was last night dismissed by MPs in an historic vote.
A "historic humiliation", "fighting for her life" and "Brextinct" are some of the ways the papers described the Prime Minister’s "crushing" Commons defeat and what lays ahead.
The Times said Mrs May can only survive by taking a new approach and winning support of the opposition, adding that she played a “extraordinarily” bad hand.
"The country faces a crisis and it is not clear whether Mrs May is part of the problem or part of the solution. She was dealt a near-impossible hand but she has played it extraordinarily badly," the newspaper said.
The Guardian said Mrs May's deal is over and asks what comes next for a country "stockpiling food and medicines as if preparing for war".
"The country now faces a situation without precedent in its constitutional history: how to reconcile the sovereignty of the people with the sovereignty of parliament," the newspaper said.
"The prime minister has been humbled into admitting she needs to win her opponents over."
The Daily Express, which called for MPs to back the PM's deal, said Brussels must heed this vote and compromise.
"The integrity of democracy is at stake now. There is no going back," the paper wrote.
"Whatever it takes Britain must leave on March 29. It is up to the EU now over whether that is on constructive and friendly terms, or not."
