Theresa May is under intense pressure to set out when she will resign as part of a bargain to persuade Eurosceptic colleagues to back her Brexit deal.
Theresa May is under intense pressure to set out a resignation date from colleagues.
Cabinet minister Andrea Leadsom refused to back the prime minister staying on if her deal passed in parliament this week. She has already said that she will not lead the party into the next general election but has resisted repeated requests to spell out when she will leave Downing Street. Andrea Leadsom, the leader of the House of Commons, also refused to back the prime minister staying on in the event she secured her deal.
May invited key opponents of her deal including Jacob Rees-Mogg, Iain Duncan-Smith, and Johnson to her Chequers, the prime minister's country retreat, over the weekend. According to reports, key figures including Jacob Rees-Mogg told the prime minister the way to get her deal through was to tell colleagues when she planned to stand down.
So far nine Tory MPs who voted against the deal in January have said they will now back it, meaning Theresa May still needs 66 votes before it commands a majority.MPs are holding a series of indicative votes on Wednesday after three ministers resigned to back an amendment which wrestled control of the parliamentary timetable from backbenchers to the government.
