Theresa May's government has survived a vote of no confidence in the House of Commons.
The final result was 325 votes to 306 - the narrow victory thanks to the support of the DUP, who are propping up the government with a confidence and supply deal.
In a brief statement outside Downing Street tonight, Mrs May acknowledged the events of the last 24 hours have been "unsettling" for many British people - but once again insisted she was determined to deliver Brexit despite parliament rejecting her withdrawal agreement.
She said MPs from all parties should come together to find a way forward - saying she's already held "constructive meetings" with representatives of the Liberal Democrats, the SNP and Plaid Cymru.
She said the "door remains open" to Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn if he wants to take part in talks, adding that she's "disappointed" he hasn't taken part so far.
The British prime minister concluded: "Now over two and a half years later, it's time for us to come together, put the national interest first and deliver on the referendum."
Mr Corbyn earlier insisted talks cannot move forward with the government unless Mrs May takes the prospect of a no deal exit from the EU off the table.

Confidence motion
The no confidence motion was tabled by Mr Corbyn last night, only moments after it was confirmed that Mrs May's Brexit withdrawal agreement had been rejected by MPs by 432 votes to 202.
However, the government managed to retain the support of pro-Brexit members of her own Conservative party tonight - despite more than 100 of them having voted against Mrs May in an internal Tory party confidence motion last month.
Mr Corbyn, meanwhile, has long called for a general election as his favoured option for trying to resolve the parliamentary impasse on Brexit - and the no confidence motion was his most aggressive move yet to trigger such an outcome.
Meanwhile, the leaders of four other opposition parties this evening increased the pressure on Labour to take a different approach, writing to Mr Corbyn to ask him to "get off the fence" and back a second Brexit referendum.

"Zombie government"
Speaking before tonight's vote, the opposition leader argued that Mrs May's administration had become a "zombie government".
Mr Corbyn told MPs: "Yesterday, [the government] lost a vote by the biggest margin ever—that is what is regarded as confidence.
"By any convention of this House - by any precedent - loss of confidence and supply should mean that they do the right thing and resign."
He added: "This government cannot govern and cannot command the support of parliament on the most important issue facing our country. Every previous prime minister in this situation would have resigned and called an election."
The Labour leader has previously said they'll consider other policies if a general election doesn't happen - including potentially throwing his party's support behind a second referendum or 'people's vote'.
Mrs May, meanwhile, claimed that a general election would be the "worst thing we could do" - saying it would deepen division as well bringing chaos and delay.
