Here is the full statement that Boris Johnson delivered to the House in the wake of his government's defeat tonight:
"Because tomorrow’s bill would hand control of the negotiations to the EU. And that would mean more dither, more delay, more confusion. "And since I refuse to go along with that plan ... we are going to have to make a choice, Mr Speaker. I don’t want an election. The public don’t want an election. "Everyone will know if the Rt Hon Gentleman is the prime minister [a reference to Jeremy Corbyn], he will go to Brussels, he will beg for an extension, you will accept whatever Brussels demands and we’ll have years more arguments over Brexit.
