Theresa May is under increasing pressure to find a consensus in parliament, after her deal was rejected by MPs for a third time.
by the Commons on Friday, but is has been suggested she could bring it back for a fourth time this week, to try to avoid a no-deal despite repeated warnings from Mr Bercow that he will not allow the deal to keep coming back to parliament.The prime minister has spent the weekend trying to win back the support of MPs who could be won over, with her aides saying that she remains focused on getting her deal over the line.
Some hard-Brexit MPs now believe that Mrs May's deal is the hardest break with the EU on offer and could now back it, but the prime minister is still lacking the support of the DUP, who have repeatedly voted against her deal.But the prime minister has also been warned against accepting a customs union arrangement, one of the options put forward today, as some Conservative MPs believe it would hinder attempts to strike future trade deals.
It has also been reported that cabinet Brexiteers, such as International Development Secretary Penny Morduant and Transport Secretary Chris Grayling, are ready to resign if Mrs May accepts the plan.On the other hand, Justice Secretary David Gauke said he would quit the government if the UK left the EU without a deal.
Piling more pressure on the government, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has hinted this weekend at tabling a no-confidence motion, to try to force a general election, should Mrs May fail in her bid once again. :: Watch a Sky News Brexit Crisis special this evening, live from Westminster at 6pm with Dermot Murnaghan
