Next week's Brexit vote could be scrapped as the Prime Minister plans to seek more concessions from Brussels, it's been revealed.
The crucial vote - due to go ahead next Monday - could be postponed as Tory whips urge Theresa May to go back to EU to renegotiate her deal to avoid a defeat in the Commons.
If true, the Government would abandon the vote on Friday - just two sitting days before the December 11 date, according to The Sun.
The move is reportedly backed by a string of senior Cabinet ministers including Sajid Javid, Chris Grayling, Jeremy Hunt and Liam Fox.
It could give Mrs May one last chance to win over Tory rebels, if she were to come back with a new and improved deal.
The last-minute plan comes amid fear the deal is on course to lose by up to 200 votes in the Commons.
Downing street still insists that the December 11 vote will go ahead.
At the G20 summit in Argentina yesterday, the defiant Prime Minister insisted she will face down massive opposition from more than 100 Tory rebels, Labour, the SNP and the Lib Dems to the package she thrashed out with the EU.
She said the next nine days will 'determine the future' of the UK.
The scale of the challenge facing Mrs May was underlined over the weekend with the resignation of universities minister Sam Gyimah, who joined demands for a second referendum.'
