All the news from today's sitting at Westminster where ministers come under fire over their Brexit strategy with accusations of an 'outrageous power grab'.

Sean Curran reports from Westminster where Labour says any attempt to stop MPs from changing any potential Brexit deal would be  an "outrageous power grab".  
The charge comes after the Brexit Secretary, Dominic Raab, appeared to suggest MPs would be given a take it or leave it vote on a final deal.
A former Conservative minister apologises and urges the Government to compensate disabled benefit claimants who have "suffered" due to years of underpayments.
And there are cross-party calls for more action to protect farm workers from exploitation.
