Theresa May suffers major Commons defeat after Tory Brexit rebellion
Pro-European Tory MPs have boasted that Parliament had "taken control" of Brexit as Theresa May suffered her first Commons defeat following a mutiny on the eve of a major Brussels summit.
In a sign of bitter recriminations Stephen Hammond, one of the rebels, was immediately sacked as Vice Chairman of the Conservative Paty after he backed the amendment guaranteeing Parliament a vote on the final Brexit deal.
One Brexit-supporting Tory called for the rebels to be deselected and never allowed to stand as Conservatives again as they were accused of handing Labour a "victory" in the Commons.
Mr Hammond was one of 11 Tory MPs who yesterday joined Labour and the Liberal Democrats in backing an amendment that guarantees Parliament a "meaningful vote" on Brexit.
