A second extension to Article 50 could finally kill off Theresa May's premiership as Tory MPs demand she stand down.
It was the weekend after Theresa May's disastrous snap general election in 2017 that former chancellor George Osborne rather brutally described the prime minister as a"dead woman walking".
But the decision to delay Brexit again and commit to the European Parliament elections - unless the UK can sign off a deal by 22 May - really feels like the final nail in the coffin for a prime minister who has been almost supernatural in her ability to remain in post in the most challenging of circumstances.
Backbench MPs are writing letters to the chair of the influential 1922 committee, Sir Graham Brady, demanding she stand down and make way for a new leader to pick up the Brexit reins and try to solve the riddle that has confounded her party and government.Mrs May has been unable to get her Brexit deal across the line, despite three attempts at passing her withdrawal agreement in the House of Commons.
Plan C involves holding so-called indicative votes in parliament, with the promise of following through on that plan to see if MPs can instruct the government on how to proceed.
