EU leaders have backed Theresa May's bid to hold yet another vote on her Brexit deal next week.
The European Commission said Wednesday night's Commons votes were 'not enough' to rule out a no-deal exit, which remains the default outcome on March 29.
Brussels said it is 'ready to sign' the withdrawal agreement agreed with Theresa May but the deal has already gone down to two huge defeats in Parliament.
Mrs May last night touted the prospect of a third 'meaningful vote' on her Brexit deal but faced an immediate backlash from MPs.

A European Commission spokeswoman said last night: 'There are only two ways to leave the EU: with or without a deal. The EU is prepared for both.
'To take no deal off the table, it is not enough to vote against no deal - you have to agree to a deal.
'We have agreed a deal with the prime minister and the EU is ready to sign it.'
Mrs May said 'the options before us are the same as they always have been' despite MPs voting to reject a no-deal Brexit.
The Government's motion for Thursday will ask MPs to back an extension until June 30 to pass legislation if the Commons can back a deal.
If the Commons has not passed a deal by March 20 it is 'highly likely' that the European Council would require a 'clear purpose' for any extension, the motion adds.
It points out that any extension beyond June 30 'would require the UK to hold European Parliament elections' in May.
Chief Secretary to the Treasury Liz Truss suggested that Theresa May's Brexit deal could be brought back to the Commons and win majority support, despite twice being rejected by large margins.
'I think it is still alive, I do,' Ms Truss told BBC Radio 4's PM.
Conservative MP Steve Baker (pictured) said pro-Brexit groups had told him that it was right MPs opposed the 'rotten' deal and they should continue to do so
'Ultimately, when you look at the alternatives - which are a customs union, no Brexit or no-deal - Theresa May's deal is more attractive than those other three options.
'I think that's the conclusion MPs will ultimately come to.'
But Mrs May was warned that Tory Brexiteers will repeatedly vote down her deal if she puts it to a vote again.
Conservative Steve Baker said pro-Brexit groups had told him that it was right MPs opposed the 'rotten' deal and they should continue to do so.
He told the Commons: 'I'll tell the Government now, when meaningful vote three comes back I'll see to it that we honour what we owe to them to keep voting this down however many times it's brought back, whatever pressure we're put under.
Independent Group member Anna Soubry accused the Government of having 'many pairs of tin ears' in the wake of this week's votes.
She told Commons Speaker John Bercow: 'It is a constitutional crisis and I'm sorry if it bores people on that side of the House who have just voted as Conservatives for a no-deal, but in any event there is a real concern that time and again this House speaks and we vote as you have seen this evening and the response at the despatch box is, in effect, for what we pass to be utterly dismissed.'

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.
