Pro-EU demonstrators rallying on London's Parliament Square erupt in reaction to the results of a parliamentary vote on Teresa May’s Brexit deal Tuesday evening.
May's Brexit deal was rejected 230 votes to 432, making it the largest defeat for a sitting government in UK history. The result prompted opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn to trigger a vote of no confidence.
