Leave supporters and their pro-Remain counterparts are massing outside Parliament as MPs prepare for tonight's crunch vote on Theresa May's Brexit deal. 

Union Jacks and EU flags were out in abundance among a sea of placards - while others carried giant grotesques showing the faces of the leading political players. 

Earlier, former UKIP leader Nigel Farage posed with pro-Brexit campaigners on Parliament Square as the number of protesters on both sides continued to swell.

Despite the tension in the air today's protests passed without serious incident. The Metropolitan Police (whose officers are seen in this image taken  this evening) said its response would be 'appropriate and proportionate'

Speaking earlier this week, Mr Farage called tonight's vote 'the most important vote since 1940 when Churchill became PM.'

He told Fox Business Network: 'It is big stuff. May will lose this vote by a massive margin, perhaps the largest in history. It is a sell-out and a betrayal.'

He added: 'I don't really believe that May and her cabinet believe in Brexit. Leaving on no deal is the only true democratic solution left.'

Events listed on social media had demonstrations starting from 10am, and organisers have said there will be screens available to watch the debate and result as well as speakers addressing the crowds.  

Tensions have been  running high in recent days as Leavers and Remainers coming head-to-head on the streets of the capital.

Some have even squared up to each other in the days after MPs reportedly became scared of being interviewed on College Green after 'Nazi' abuse aimed at Tory Anna Soubry. 

Yesterday one man swathed in a blue-and-gold EU flag shouted at an opposing Brexiteer: 'Trump hates the EU, Putin hates the EU. Don't you think these are clues the EU is a good thing?'

Remainer Hugo McNestry dismounted his bike to remonstrate with Leaver Philip Aiston, the Evening Standard reported.

Mr McNestry's shout of 'we already had control of our borders' was met with an incredulous 'Where?' from the Brexiter.

Timeline to Theresa's Commons defeat 

6.45pm: Theresa May will sum up the debate and make a final appeal to MPs to back the deal.

7pm: Voting will begin. First, MPs will vote on the amendments to the motion. 

Four have been selected by the Speaker. 

If any pass, the final vote on the deal is with the amendment attached. 

Each vote will take around 15-20 minutes, meaning the result should be in by around 8.30pm.

8.30pm: After the votes, Mrs May will make a statement setting out her response and the next steps the government will take.

The pair eventually shook hands and agreed to disagree while one Londoner assured a tourist from Norwich: 'It's not always like this'.

Another campaigner told the newspaper there was increasingly an 'edge' to the atmosphere of the growing crowd outside Parliament.

The Metropolitan Police said preparations to deal with today's protests will be 'appropriate and proportionate.' 

It comes as Theresa May told her Cabinet today that she won't quit even if her Brexit deal falls to the biggest Commons defeat in history.

The PM signalled defiance as she gathered her team despite fears that she is on track for catastrophic failure in the showdown tonight - with warnings the margin could be more than 200 votes. 

That would eclipse the record humiliation of 166 suffered by the minority Labour government in 1924.

But Mrs May is said to have told Cabinet that she will not quit regardless of the scale of the loss, as her plan is the 'only option'. 

She said she was the 'servant of the people' and determined to implement the referendum result.   

How the Commons will vote: Theresa May's deal is expected to lose heavily tonight, which could lead to a no-confidence motion and potentially a general election

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
