BBC report: [UK] Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit deal has been rejected by 230 votes - the largest defeat for a sitting government in history
"[UK] Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit deal has been rejected by 230 votes - the largest defeat for a sitting government in history.", https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-46885828
Ravi: Shocking! There was talk prior to the vote that if the margin of defeat was around or less than 60 or 70, it would give UK PM May a chance to modify the deal and present it back to Parliament.
This is two hundred and thirty votes! 432 voted against the deal and 202 voted for the deal in the House of Commons!
Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn has called for a no-confidence vote but he is expected to lose that, if such a no-confidence vote motion is accepted. [If a no-confidence vote is held and won that will mean a new general election.]
Feel really sad about this state of affairs in UK now. Hope and pray that UK members of Parliament and PM somehow get their act together and get out of this terrible deadlock situation.

1 hr + video covering various angles of the Brexit situation after PM May's deal got comprehensively defeated by over 200 votes, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isxFXwGRvXs
I saw the whole video and as a lot of MPs are interviewed in it, I think it does give a good feel of the situation now. Quite chaotic and confusing but some MPs and analysts are clear that PM May will defeat the no-confidence vote. So her position seems safe.
What needs to found out is some deal which will get the majority of Parliament approval. Then PM May will have to discuss with European Parliament about it ...
Lots of work to do ... lots of unknowns but it does NOT seem to be a dangerous "crash out" of Europe situ.
Few MPs and analysts argue that even if they come out of Europe with No deal, it will be good. But that is strongly disputed by others who feel that No deal will be bad for UK.
