THERESA May is facing a vote of no confidence after proposed agreement to withdraw from the European Union (EU) was shot down by a record-breaking margin.
The Prime Minister entered the debate on Tuesday evening, well aware that members of her own party were going to stand against her.
Couple that with the swathe of Labour politicians who followed Jeremy Corbyn loyally by opposing the deal and the outcome was inevitable.
May's deal lost by 432 votes to 202, the largest defeat of a Government motion in 100 years.
But how did your MP vote when it came to making what the Prime Minister was calling the most important vote in their respective careers?
Alok Sharma (Reading West MP) - FOR
Before the EU referendum, Mr Sharma wanted the United Kingdom to remain in the EU. The Conservative MP voted in favour of the Brexit deal put forward by May.
Prior to Tuesday's vote - and in response to criticism from Labour opponents, Mr Sharma told the Chronicle that he was encouraging rivals to get behind the Prime Minister to avoid a 'disorderly Brexit'.
He said: “The Labour Party has had 16 different positions on Brexit to date and in recent days Labour’s Shadow Justice Secretary when asked 23 times on national media, was incapable of setting out his party’s current position.
"We do know that the Labour’s Shadow International Trade Secretary has been reported in national media to have described Labour’s six tests for its Brexit policy and strategy as 'b******s'!
"If Labour is genuinely keen to avoid a disorderly Brexit, I would encourage Labour MPs to vote for the Government’s Brexit deal in Parliament.”
Matt Rodda (Reading East MP) - AGAINST
The Labour MP was heavily opposed to this deal. At a recent debate, he confronted the Prime Minister with his concerns.
Concerns were raised by Mr Rodda about the 'very serious consequences' of crashing out of the EU.
He said: “I am deeply concerned about Brexit and the impact it could have on our communities in Reading and Woodley, and on the local economy.
“I approached Theresa May at the meeting and raised both my own serious concerns and those of the very many constituents who are very worried about Brexit.”
Back in 2016, 58 per cent of those who turned out to vote in Reading wanted to remain in the EU.
Richard Benyon (Newbury MP) - FOR
Much like Mr Sharma, Benyon wanted the UK to remain in the EU before the referendum.
On January 10, he made a speech in the House of Commons about the Withdrawal Agreement.
“For some people in this House, the word compromise is a pejorative term, a sign of weakness.
“It a word which is too often followed by words like betrayal.
“For me, compromise is almost always a virtue.I compromised as a solider. I compromise as a businessman, with every negotiation I did.
“I compromise almost daily in this place, trying to get some of what I want through, rather than getting nothing.”
The vote was much closer in West Berkshire, with 51.8 per cent of people wanting to remain.
John Redwood (Wokingham MP) - AGAINST
After being given a knighthood in the New Year's Honours, there had been a great deal of speculation that the Wokingham MP would go back on his principles.
This suggestion was rejected by Mr Redwood, who promised to stand by his Brexiteer tag.
He said: "The people made a decision. They were promised by government and Parliament it would be implemented.
"Today Parliament should vote down the Withdrawal Agreement, which is the stay under EU control agreement.
"Parliament should also make clear we must now leave on March 29."
This attitude was in contrast to that of Wokingham, with 56.7 per cent of voters wanting to remain.
Dr Phillip Lee (Bracknell MP) - AGAINST
Before the referendum, Dr Lee wanted the UK to remain in the EU. The Bracknell MP had fallen out with the Prime Minister on a number of occasions.
He famously quit as Justice Minister over a disagreement about Brexit and he made a bold statement, insisting he would not quit as MP after a backlash from residents.
Dr Lee said: "If, in the future, I am to look my children in the eye and honestly say that I did my best for them I cannot, in all good conscience, support how our country’s current exit from the EU looks set to be delivered.
"I voted to remain in the European Union and have not changed my view that continued membership would have been the better strategic course. Even so, I believe that it would be impossible and wrong to seek to go back to how things were before the referendum.
"If Brexit is worth doing, then it is certainly worth doing well; regardless of how long that takes."
Nearly 54 per cent of residents in Bracknell Forest voted to leave the EU in 2016.
