A no confidence vote that could oust Theresa May will be held tomorrow after Jeremy Corbyn launched his attack on the Government seconds after the Brexit deal was crushed.
In a surprise move, the Prime Minister seized on the defeat to admit she would face a no confidence vote before Mr Corbyn even had a chance to announce his plan.
As he finally made his move the Labour leader said it was a 'catastrophic' defeat for the Government and confirmed he would seek to oust Mrs May tomorrow.
In a defiant statement moments after Mrs May was defeated 432 to 202, Mr Corbyn said he had tabled the crucial motion.
The move triggers a high-stakes contest that, if he wins, could send Mrs May tumbling from office and pave the way for a general election.

Jeremy Corbyn (pictured leaving his London home today) is hoping to seize on the chaos of the PM's deal being voted down to table a no confidence motion and try to topple Mrs May
Labour MPs upped the pressure on Mr Corbyn to act today, after weeks in which he has been accused of dragging his heels.
Backbencher Gavin Shuker said failure to force a vote would be an 'abdication of leadership' and prove that the Labour leader is just trying to dodge backing a second Brexit referendum.
Mr Shuker said: 'A failure to table a no confidence motion would be a huge betrayal tonight.
'An abdication of leadership; the act of someone trying dodge a People’s Vote and run down the clock.'
Mrs May looks on track for a massive defeat in the House later, with fears that the margin could top 200 - making it easily the biggest defeat ever for a government.
The previous largest was 166 by the minority Labour government in 1924.
DUP leader Arlene Foster had some solace for Mrs May today as she confirmed that the confidence and supply deal with the Tories - which props them up in power - still holds. The commitment means there should be little chance of Labour winning a vote.
But Mr Corbyn dropped his strongest hint yet that he will push a motion when he addressed Labour rank-and-file in Parliament last night.
Asked by his MPs when the bid would be launched, he insisted it was 'coming soon'.
A party source added last night: 'You will not have to wait a long time.'
Under Commons rules, the government must allow time for a no-confidence vote when the official Opposition asks for one.
There has been widespread speculation it could happen tomorrow. But previous votes have happened up to a week later.
Mr Corbyn has accused the Prime Minister of trying to 'blackmail' Labour MPs into supporting her Brexit deal.
The Labour leader said his party would 'not be held to ransom' and would vote against the deal despite Theresa May's warnings of no-deal chaos.
If the no-confidence motion passes – and a new government with the support of a majority of MPs cannot be formed within a fortnight – Parliament will be dissolved and an early election called.
However, Mr Corbyn is unlikely to succeed as the Democratic Unionist Party and hardline Tory Eurosceptics have pledged they would not side with Labour.
It came as a poll showed Labour falling six points behind the Conservatives despite the Brexit chaos engulfing Mrs May's party.
In the YouGov poll for the Times Mr Corbyn's party plunged to 35 per cent, its lowest rating since mid December, while the Tories score 41 per cent.

Mr Corbyn is believed to have held off on challenging the Government amid fears that failure to trigger a general election could lead to a second referendum.
Under Labour's Brexit plans, decided at its conference in September, the party's policy is to seek a general election first. If the party cannot secure one, Labour has promised to look at all options – including another referendum.
Polling suggests that a large majority of Labour members want Mr Corbyn to actively back a so-called People's Vote – but this would prompt a backlash from his pro-Brexit voters in the party's Northern heartlands.
He said Mrs May had failed to persuade his MPs, declaring: 'The Labour Party will not be held to ransom.'
Later, addressing the Parliamentary Labour Party on the eve of today's crucial vote, Mr Corbyn predicted that Mrs May's deal would be defeated – and said the country should have a general election.
'The Tory Party's botched deal will be rejected by Parliament,' he said. 'We will then need an election to have the chance to vote for a government that can bring our people together and address the deep-seated issues facing our country.'
Aides said Labour expected a no-confidence motion to be treated as a top priority for debating time in the Commons. They said the timing was a matter for Mr Corbyn.
A source stressed that a second referendum is only one of a number of options on the table for Labour, alongside seeking a different Brexit deal in line with the party's own priorities.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
