Donald Tusk hints UK should stay in EU
STEPANAKERT, JANUARY 16, ARTSAKHPRESS: "If a deal is impossible, and no-one wants no deal, then who will finally have the courage to say what the only positive solution is?", the EU official tweeted.
MPs voted by 432 votes to 202 to reject the deal, which sets out the terms of Britain's exit from the EU on 29 March.
EU officials and politicians have reacted with dismay to the result.
It was the largest defeat for a sitting government in history, with 118 of the votes against coming from Prime Minister Theresa May's own Conservative Party.
It has cast more doubt on the Brexit process, and the leader of the opposition Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, has tabled a vote of no confidence in the government.
