Daily Mail: May bows out as Remainers and Brexiteers fight for the future of Brexit: PM stays mute after losing her voice and lets Gove do the talking as MPs debate whether to stop Britain leaving the EU with No Deal

* MPs will hold more Brexit votes tonight after Theresa May said they must decide whether to accept No Deal
* But Mrs May pulled out of presenting her own motion and handed the job to Environment Secretary Gove
* The Prime Minister will vote against No Deal happening on March 29 but say it must remain on the table
* Tory MPs have a free vote on May's plan and a rival amendment aimed at uniting the Conservative Party
* EU Brexit negotiator has already rejected the alternative plan known as the Malthouse Compromise
* May is ordering her MPs to vote against a cross party plan to rule out a No Deal Brexit in all circumstances

Theresa May saved her voice and pulled out of opening the debate ahead of today's No Deal vote as Eurosceptics and Remainers went into battle over Brexit in the Commons.

The Prime Minister asked her Environment Secretary Michael Gove to step in - but Mrs May sat behind him throughout as he backed her motion that Britain should not leave the EU on March 29 without a deal - but keep No Deal on the table if talks still falter after a likely Article 50 extension.

Speaker John Bercow has selected two amendments to Theresa May's motion - one by Tory Dame Caroline Spelman rejecting a No Deal Brexit at any time and under any circumstances and the other in the name of former Tory minister Damian Green to delay Brexit day from March 29 to May 22 to give time for preparations to leave without a deal.
