 本期内容：

Michel Barnier has said Brexit is at a standstill after the crushing rejection1 of Theresa May’s deal by MPs but offered to return to the negotiating table if parliament forces Theresa May to shift her "red lines". The motivations of the MPs who delivered the rebuff – a defeat by 230 votes, the largest ever for a sitting government – were described by the EU’s chief negotiator as "contradictory2". Barnier said parliament had failed to offer an alternative vision on Tuesday evening, warning May that nothing could progress until she found a Commons majority for a deal.
