Senior ministers and aides to prime minister Theresa May have discussed telling her to stand down in order to prevent another historic defeat of her Brexit deal.
Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, the Home Secretary Sajid Javid and Boris Johnson are all"ready to launch immediate leadership bids," according to the paper.MPs will vote for a second time on May's Brexit deal after it was defeated by a 230 vote margin in January.
May could then be forced to seek an extension to the Brexit negotiation process which is currently due to end at the end of March. However, the prime minister is reluctant to stand down before she has secured a legacy beyond Brexit and there is no formal way for her party to force her out before the end of this year at the earliest.
