Brexit news - live: Tory MP quits in disgust after Commons votes to reject every single suggested way forward

With potential successors to Ms May beginning to jostle for her position following her announcement she will quit once she has finally delivered on Brexit, transport secretary Chris Grayling has suggested the next leader should be a senior figure who campaigned for Brexit.

He indicated the younger generation of contenders - which includes Dominic Raab, Liz Truss and Matt Hancock - should wait until after the next general election due to take place in 2022.

"The next two or three years are going to be very tough because the European stuff is not going to go away," he told The Daily Telegraph.

"We have got to negotiate a free trade agreement, sort out where we are, but also as we get into the 2020s, we are going to have to pass the torch to a new generation.

"Is the person who takes us through the next two or three years and sorts out Brexit and gets the sort of hard time that Theresa has had, the same person who we want to be leading us into the 2027 general election?"

Here are the motions that have been tabled for MPs to vote on during tonight's "indicative votes". They won't all be selected, however, with Commons speaker John Bercow expected to choose only three or four - significantly fewer than the eight he selected last week.

Motion A - John Baron (Conservative ) - Seeks to amend the withdrawal agreement to give the UK a unilateral right to exit the controversial Northern Ireland backstop.

Motion B - John Baron (Conservative) - Calls for a no-deal Brexit on 12 April if no Withdrawal Agreement can be agreed by the Commons.

Motion C - Ken Clarke (Conservative) - Requires any Brexit deal to include a commitment to negotiate a "permanent and comprehensive UK-wide customs union with the EU".

Motion D - Nick Boles (Conservative) - Would see the UK remain in the single market and negotiate a "comprehensive customs arrangement" until a wider trade deal could be agreed. Dubbed "Common Market 2.0."

Motion E - Peter Kyle (Labour) - Says any Brexit deal approved by the Commons should be put to a confirmatory referendum.

Motion F - Graham Jones (Labour) - Would requires a public referendum to be held on whether to leave the EU without a deal.

Motion G - Joanna Cherry (SNP) - Says the government must give MPs a vote on whether to opt for no-deal if no withdrawal agreement can be agreed. If this is voted down, ministers would have to revoke Article 50.  

Motion H - George Eustice (Conservative) - Would see the UK remain in the single market but not a customs union. 

Conservative Eurosceptic leader Jacob Rees-Mogg has said he is "very concerned" that Theresa May will agree to try to negotiate a customs union with the EU.

He told LBC:

"My concern is that the prime minister is more concerned to avoid a no-deal Brexit than anything else.

"And therefore I am very concerned that she could decide to go for a customs union tacked onto her deal."

Germany's deputy foreign minister, Micheal Roth, has described Brexit as a "big shitshow".

He said:

"Brexit is a big shitshow - I say that now very undiplomatically.

I don’t know if William Shakespeare could have come up with such a tragedy, but who will foot the bill?"

In an astonishing attack on UK government ministers, he said 90 per cent of the cabinet had “no idea how workers think, live, work and behave” and said senior politicians would not suffer from Brexit because they were “born with silver spoons in their mouths [and] went to private schools and elite universities”.

Jacob Rees-Mogg has been criticised after sharing a video promoting the leader of Germany's far-right AfD party 

Labour MP David Lammy has led criticism of Jacob Rees-Mogg for sharing a video of the leader of Germany's far-right AfD party...

The Independent Group's Heidi Allen was visibly emotional during an appearance on the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire Show. 

The MP became tearful after being shown an old clip of her speaking in the House of Commons about her experience of having an abortion. 

She said:

"I still get upset seeing that - sorry.

It brings back memories. I'm not saying it was a hard thing to say publicly, because that's my job - I have to be strong and I have to say things that need saying, but you compromise your own private space by doing that."

Asked if she thought that speaking publicly about her abortion was the right thing to do, she added:

"From the overwhelming support that I received from women and men right across the UK, particularly in Northern Ireland, which of course is what the debate was centred around, it was absolutely the right thing because it gave then a fighting chance."

Former prime minister Gordon Brown has said the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn has "let the Jewish community down"

In a video for the Hope Not Hate campaign group, he said:

"The Labour Party has always had a long, proud and noble tradition of standing up against all forms of prejudice and racism.

"But in the last few years it has let the Jewish community down.

"They should never have allowed legitimate criticism of the current Israeli government to act as a cover for the demonisation of the entire Jewish people."

He added:

"The message to the Jewish community should be clear and unequivocal: 'You will never walk alone and we will never walk on by on the other side. We must never tolerate intolerance.'

"Solidarity means standing up with those who are under attack and that is why I am joining as an affiliated member. I urge all my colleagues to do the same.

"Tackling antisemitism and racism and fighting for equality is not a diversion nor a distraction from our purpose as party - it is our purpose as a party.

"We will never allow evil to triumph over good and neither will the British people."

Guy Verhofstadt, the European Parliament's Brexit co-ordinator, has described Britain's exit from the EU as a "tragic reality" and urged MPs to "find a compromise and stop this chaos".

Jacob Rees-Mogg has denied supporting Germany's far-right AfD party, despite tweeting a video of its leader discussing Brexit.

Asked about the row during a phone-in on LBC, the prominent Brexiteer said:

"I'm not supporting the AfD, but this is a speech made in the Bundestag of real importance because it shows a German view of Brexit.

"And it is saying to the Germans, 'Look, you're paying for this, you're going to pay more for this' and Angela Merkel has tied herself up in knots with the French to the disadvantage of the Germans.

"And I think it's important people know that this is a strand of German political thinking.

"I don't think retweeting is an endorsement of things that other people stand for - it's just pointing out that there's something interesting that is worth watching."
