My popcorn's at the ready for this development!
Quote:
A group of up to 30 government ministers are preparing block a no-deal Brexit.
They are working out how many of them need to resign from government in order to support the Cooper/Letwin amendment that will give parliament the power to take no-deal off the table.
The older ministers are preparing to resign so the younger ones don't have to, with one minister telling me he is already organising his departmental leaving party in anticipation of his resignation.
One rebel said: "The country looks on and thinks we're being run by 40 MPs, and that decisions about Brexit are being taken solely to keep the Tory party together. That simply can't do."
This looming showdown will prove explosive for the Conservative Party: the fury of the Brexiteers will be a sight to behold should their colleagues vote to give parliament the power to defy their own prime minister by ruling out no-deal and, if necessary, delaying Brexit.
