Responding to today's vote, Shadow Scottish Secretary, Lesley Laird, said:
"Today MPs have given a clear signal to Boris Johnson that they don't trust him or his Brexit deal.
"He must now obey the law and seek an extension to Article 50.
"Time and time again, we have been told that the best way to get Brexit done is to vote for a deal.
"That is a false choice and by voting for Boris Johnson's deal, we would have opened the door to a decade of negotiations leading to deregulation and a trade deal with Donald Trump.
"This deal was a sell out that would lead to a sell off.
"Labour is clear that we must let the people decide and that any Brexit deal must be put back to the public with the option to remain on the ballot paper."
