Brexit vote LIVE: MPs again reject all options in second round of indicative votes after taking control

MPs have voted down all options on the table in a second round of indicative votes in a bid to end the deadlock over Brexit.

Speaker John Bercow selected four options to be voted on: a customs union, Common Market 2.0 or "Norway-plus", a second referendum and the option to revoke Article 50 if the UK is heading towards no-deal.

Last Wednesday, MPs did not find a majority for any of the eight options tabled and on Friday, they rejected Theresa May’s Withdrawal Agreement for the third time.

Conservative MPs were given a free vote, but Cabinet ministers will be told to abstain.

The move comes as the Prime Minister struggles to contain the rising tensions with her Cabinet as the clock counts down to the latest EU deadline on April 12.
