Prime Minister Theresa May will attend a meeting of the 1922 Committee of backbench Conservative MPs where she will be pressed to announce she will be gone by the autumn
Theresa May will be urged by her own MPs today to name the date of her departure as the price of getting her Brexit deal through Parliament.
Last night Boris Johnson gave a strong hint that he could be persuaded to back the deal if Mrs May agreed to quit. Speaking at The Daily Telegraph’s ‘Boris on Brexit Live’ event, he said: “If we vote it down again, for the third time, there is now, I think, an appreciable risk that we will not leave at all.
Mrs May still hopes to persuade the DUP to back her agreement, after the party distanced itself from comments made by Sammy Wilson, its Brexit spokesman, who said a year-long delay would be better than the deal.
