Brexit news latest: Europe reacts to Theresa May's crushing defeat, saying ‘time is almost up'

European politicians have reacted to Theresa May’s historic crushing defeat, as MPs voted overwhelmingly against her deal.

Mrs May has been warned time is almost up after she lost the Meaningful vote on her EU exit deal in the biggest government defeat in history by 432 votes to 202.

The Prime Minister responded by telling the Commons: "The House has spoken and the Government will listen".

The European Parliament’s Brexit Co-ordinator Guy Verhofstadt said it is now the time for Britain to decide what it wants.
