Theresa May is facing the most serious revolt of her premiership as up to 100 MPs pledge to vote to delay Brexit unless she takes No Deal off the table. Rebel Tories now sense there are enough MPs across the House of Commons to pass the Cooper Amendment - which extends Article 50 beyond the departure date of March 29 - due to be debated on Wednesday.

Four Cabinet ministers were said to have confronted the Prime Minister yesterday and warned they are prepared to vote for the motion proposed by the Tory MP Sir Oliver Letwin and Labour's Yvette Cooper. It's claimed as many as 25 junior ministers and many others in the government are prepared to do the same to prevent crashing out of the EU without a deal.

A well-placed source told the Guardian the move will challenge May to sack the rebels who have no intention of resigning voluntarily

The plot thickens.

On the face of that, it looks like an extension is becoming very likely - probably the last thing people in the UK want. But it really is pretty unpredictable at the moment. Fascinating to witness though!
