yep:

MPs have rejected Brexit timetable - 322 to 308.

Earlier Boris said if he lost this vote then he would withdraw the Bill and seek a General Election.

Waiting to see what he says in statement...

And Oct 31st looms even closer....

Boris statement:

Can I say in response how welcome it is, even joyful that for the first time in this long saga, this House has actually accepted its responsibilities together, come together, and embraced a deal?

I congratulate honourable members across the House on the scale of our collective achievement because, just a few weeks ago, hardly anybody believed that we could reopen the withdrawal agreement, let alone abolish the backstop, that is indeed what they were saying.

And certainly nobody thought we could secure the approval of the House for a new deal and we should not overlook the significance of this moment.

No mention of election...

[jonsie]

So he wins one vote and he's now the messiah? Joke

Speculation that EU will offer extension to 31 January 2020, with option of leaving earlier if bill and deal go through, to avoid "no deal" - according to the Guardian

Just watched Sky News and the speculation about a general Election goes on.

What a bloody farce.

22.25 Election if January extension agreed - No 10 source

A No 10 source has said there will have to be a general election if the EU offers a delay until the end of January - as the UK has requested.

"On Saturday, Parliament asked for a delay until January and today Parliament blew its last chance.

"If Parliament's delay is agreed by Brussels, then the only way the country can move on is with an election.

"This Parliament is totally broken. The public will have to choose whether they want to get Brexit done with Boris or whether they want to spend 2020 having two referendums on Brexit and Scotland with Corbyn."
