An emergency debate aimed at blocking a no-deal Brexit is raging in the House of Commons after at least 10 Conservative MPs rebelled against the government.
Despite the threat of deselection, the Tory rebels rose to their feet in support of the emergency debate application, moved by colleague Sir Oliver Letwin.
Labour MPs described the "powerful" scenes, after senior Tories including former chancellor Phillip Hammond and Rory Stewart confirmed they would put their jobs on the line to secure a vote.
Success in securing an emergency debate means MPs will vote on whether to control the Commons agenda on Wednesday.
If MPs seize the Commons order paper, votes will be held intended to force the PM into requesting a Brexit extension from the EU.
However Mr Johnson has promised if he loses tonight's vote, he will call a general election for mid-October and deselect any Tory to oppose him.
