MPs have cast a series of historic votes declaring whether they would back alternative Brexit plans to Theresa May's deal.

Their ballots captured a crucial snapshot of the levels of support across the Commons for eight different scenarios.

Those behind the bid will give parliament more "indicative votes" on Monday, in an attempt to narrow down the options.

All of the options were defeated, but several very narrowly.

Sky News unpicks the most popular two that could be put to MPs at that second round.

:: A UK-wide customs union

The option with the narrowest defeat was for the UK to leave the EU and implement a customs union across the whole country.

That would see both sides continue not to charge tariffs for goods traded between each other, and set the same tariffs for external countries.

Controls might only apply in certain areas, to suit the UK and EU's needs.

Theresa May has repeatedly ruled out any form of customs union because it would place restrictions on what trade deals the UK could do with other countries.

The idea was voted down by 272 votes to 264.

But it commanded support from 264 Labour MPs, 33 Conservatives, 4 independents and 1 Liberal Democrat.

If the remaining Lib Dem MPs, Scottish National Party, Greens, Plaid Cymru and pro-EU Independent Group came on side, it would stand a strong chance of getting a majority.

:: A referendum on any deal

The option with the second narrowest defeat was for a referendum to be held that would approve or reject any Brexit deal.

Labour's Dame Margaret Beckett led the bid for a "confirmatory public vote" on any withdrawal agreement.

It was backed by a substantially lower number of Labour MPs - 198 - some eight Conservatives, all the SNP, Plaid Cymru, Greens and the Independent Group.

So what happens next?

It is not clear exactly how the second round of indicative votes will work.

Sir Oliver Letwin, the Tory backbencher who pioneered the idea, has only said: "At the moment we are heading for a situation where, under the law, we leave without a deal on the 12th, which many of us think is not a good solution.

"The question is 'is parliament on Monday willing to come to any view in the majority about that way forward that doesn't involve that result?'"

Even if one of the options wins a majority, Mrs May is not legally compelled to go to the EU and make such an offer.
