Brexit News: EU and Prime Minister Boris seek coordination to warn Prime Minister Boris will fight against them until DEATH | Politics | New

Tensions within the Conservative Party intensified this weekend as sources close to the Prime Minister had promised to "fight to death the rebels of Brexiteer" if they tried to spark a vote of no confidence in Ms. May.

Fears that Ms. May is now planning to sell Brexit were exacerbated after the Sunday Express learned that her chief of staff, Gavin Barwell, was going to meet conservative Conservative MPs who were trying to hold a second referendum to cancel the election. Brexit.

Barwell's meeting on Wednesday will include former cabinet minister Justine Greening and others involved in the so-called People's Vote campaign.

Growing fears over the outcome of negotiations prompted Johnson earlier this week to announce to his Brexiteer colleagues in Parliament that there would be "a problem" in urging them to prepare to "resist To an agreement leaving Britain as a "colony of the EU." "

A senior government official, however, said measures had already been taken to ensure that a "no deal" with the EU is the least likely option after a week in which Ms May has already considered extending the transition period before leaving the EU.

Mocking Conservative MPs, the Prime Minister's close source said: "What they [Brexiteer Tory rebels] do not realize is that a non-agreement is the least likely thing to happen if they vote in favor of an agreement.

"Having another election, extending Article 50 and other options is much more likely to happen. There will certainly be no agreement. "

At the same time, the Sunday Express also learned that relations between members of the pro-Brexit European research group on Conservative MPs and Downing Street were deteriorating.

A senior group official revealed that many Brexiteer MEPs were now "refusing" dinner invitations to Downing Street with May's top advisers to discuss an agreement with the EU.

The MP said: "We have discovered in the past that MPs were used for propaganda and that there was nothing left to discuss."

GRE said nearly 80 MPs might reject an agreement based on May's Checkers' proposal and that 40 of them would not be spared.

Mark François, vice-president of the ERG, said: "I am a former whip, so I know the ropes of the whips, but we are sure that even with that, they will be able to reduce the number to 40. This means controllers can not go through parliament. "

He added: "Any attempt to extend Article 50 or the transition period and to delay Brexit would be foolishness. They are just not going to do it. "

It also appears that 40 of the 48 Conservative MPs' letters are needed to trigger a vote of confidence in the leader.

But Ms. May's allies made it clear that they thought she was safe now because the Brexiteers had not acted before the summer holidays after Mr. Johnson's resignation and former Brexit secretary David Davis.

The main source said, "We will fight them to death. Each week that passes, we become stronger and they become weaker. "

It was also felt that once an agreement with the EU would be reached, even if it failed to hold Brexit properly, Conservative MPs would be obliged to support it.

A Downing Street source said, "If not, the dynamics will change completely.

"Then they will have to explain to their constituents why they are putting their job at risk only for the concept of a clean Brexit. People have not voted for it and will not forgive them. "

A minister and close ally of Ms. May added, "Boris's mistake was not to push a vote of no confidence before the summer.

"It would have been then like the end of Margaret Thatcher to know how many MPs voted against her. Now, if the Prime Minister wins, it is enough and they have failed.

"It's too late to press this button now."

Already, some Conservative members of the Brexiteer and the Conservative Party have expressed concern that a proposal by former Interior Minister Amber Rudd and former Minister Nick Boles , concerning a so-called Norwegian option be adopted.

Conservative MP Phillip Lee said, "It would be a disaster. We would have all the disadvantages of being in the European Union but would have no control over the decisions made for us.

"The Brexiteers are in agreement with me on this point but I fear that this will be imposed on us all."

Another MP attacked Ms. Rudd's support for the option, which related to personal ambition.

He said, "She (Rudd) sees this as a quick way to get back into the closet."

There are also signs of Brexite divisions over tactics, some already voicing their anger that both Johnson and Jacob Rees-Mogg have refused to trigger a leadership challenge before the summer.

One MP said, "We are still waiting for the big guys and the good guys to let us go. I fear they left it too late. "

Conservative MP Andrea Jenkyns, who is collecting letters of censure, said some of her colleagues were holding back because they "feared we would be locked in a three-month leadership contest."

But Shipley MP Philip Davies said voters who want the Conservatives to hold Brexit lose confidence in the government.

He said: "What concerns me is the decline of the population with our voters and its very sharp decline."
