Can Parliament stop a no-deal Brexit?
Unfortunately for Europhile MPs, simply signalling to the House of Commons that they have a majority will not cancel a no-deal Brexit.
Instead, they must prove there is a majority in favour of an alternative outcome to Mrs May's deal.
At the moment, leaving the EU with or without a deal is currently the default.
If Theresa May's agreement fails to get through, as is looking likely, the UK will leave with no deal.
But the EU Withdrawal Act does allow for legislation to be passed to extend the 29 March leaving date.
However, on 9th January Tory revels joined forces with Labour to inflect a fresh blow on Theresa May's government in a Commons Brexit vote.
The ruling means the government must rustle up new plans within three days if Mrs May's EU withdrawal deal is rejected by MPs next week.
This could open up new doors to alternative models of a deal or a second referendum.
What was the reaction to the vote?
Shadow Brexit Secretary and committed Europhile Sir Keir Starmer said: "The government's decision to delay the meaningful vote has run down the clock and increased the risk of a no-deal Brexit.
"If the prime minister's Brexit deal is defeated next week, she must return to Parliament as soon as possible and give MPs a real say on what happens next."
But Conservative Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg said the defeat would not affect the UK's scheduled departure from the EU on 29 March.
"It merely requires a motion to be tabled not even debated," he said.
