Brexit vote: What just happened and what comes next?

With only approximately two more months before a default no-deal "hard Brexit," the British Parliament has decisively rejected Prime Minister May's proposed plan for leaving the European Union.

There is a no confidence vote in works which, if successful, will dissolve the government and force another general election.

  Close yes, but also pretty much as expected. Conservatives + DUP allies vote one way, almost everyone else votes the other, independents do whatever they think best, and maybe a few voting against party lines. It's pretty much exactly the current breakdown of Parliament, less any absentees, abstainers, the Speaker, and the four Tellers who didn't/can't vote.

  Quite, it’s the exact same result that would have happened the day after the 2017 election, or 6 months ago. Corbyn winding down the clock as usual.
