Theresa May has suffered a historic defeat in the Commons as MPs rejected her Brexit deal by a majority of 230.
At least 118 Conservatives rebelled and voted against the EU withdrawal agreement.
It led to Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn calling a vote of no confidence in the government.
That will take place tonight. It could trigger a general election if the government loses, although it is not expected to be defeated.
Meanwhile the Prime Minister needs to come up with a plan B for Brexit by Monday.
Here's a breakdown of how Essex's MPs voted on the PM's deal last night:
FOR:
Alex Burghart (Brentwood & Ongar)
James Cleverly (Braintree)
Jackie Doyle-Price MP (Thurrock)
Vicky Ford (Chelmsford)
Rebecca Harris (Castle Point)
Mark Prisk (Hertford & Stortford)
AGAINST:
Sir David Amess (Southend West)
John Baron (Basildon & Billericay)
James Duddridge (Rochford & Southend East)
