Sky's Becky Johnson reports from Harrogate, where today Nigel Farage repeated his calls for Theresa May to step down.

Donald Trump has suggested Theresa May's Brexit agreement could threaten a US-UK trade deal. The US president told reporters the withdrawal agreement "sounds like a great deal for the EU" and meant the UK might not be able to trade with the US. No 10 insisted it is "very clear" the UK would be able to sign trade deals with countries around the world. Downing Street added that Mrs May is ready to defend her deal in a TV debate with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. It has been reported the debate could take place on 9 December - two days before the Parliamentary vote on Mrs May's deal. Speaking to reporters outside the White House, Mr Trump said: "Right now if you look at the deal, [the UK] may not be able to trade with us. And that wouldn't be a good thing. I don't think they meant that."

Dr Rosena Allin-Khan,has become the latest member of the shadow cabinet to declare their support for the People’s Vote campaign. Allin-Khan, the MP for Tooting, in south London, and Labour’s shadow minister for sport, speaking at the People’s Vote and Best for Britain rally, said: I launched a local Brexit Poll, asking people to give me their views on the Brexit deal and today, I published the results - 90% of local people want a People’s Vote. Parliament has a decision to make in the next few days which will alter the course of history for the UK, for us and for our children. The current government is run on confidence and supply, but let’s be straight – confidence is in very short supply. Let’s end the economic uncertainty, let’s end the fear mongering - and let’s have a campaign on the facts. If calls for a general election are rejected - I’ll be backing a People’s Vote.

Theresa May has called off Tuesday's crucial vote on her Brexit deal so she can go back to Brussels and ask for changes to it.
As it stands the deal "would be rejected by a significant margin" if MPs voted on it, she admitted.
But she said she was confident of getting "reassurances" from the EU on the Northern Ireland border plan.
MPs reacted angrily to her announcement with Labour's Jeremy Corbyn saying she had "lost control of events".
