Prime Minister proposes that the United Kingdom remain in a customs union with the EU after Brexit, leaving the country unable to sign new trade agreements, until a new agreement is finalized .
Contrarily, there will be no time limit to this, which means that the UK could theoretically end up indefinitely in a customs union.
In response, at least three cabinet ministers are considering resigning, which could bring down May's troubled administration.
Esther McVey and Penny Mordaunt, respectively secretary of labor and pensions and international development, both refused to publicly endorse the plan.
Andrea Leadsom, leader of the Commons, would also have reservations.
A source told The Daily Telegraph that the dissident ministers are worried that the plans are a "betrayal" of Brexit.
The source added: "This is not what people voted for."
Neither Ms. McVey, Ms. Mordaunt nor Ms. Leadsom were invited to a partial cabinet meeting that was held yesterday to discuss the plans.
However, Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab, Secretary of the Environment Michael Gove and International Trade Secretary Liam Fox have reported their concerns.
Ms. Mordaunt declined to say that she was supporting the Prime Minister's contract with the Checkers during an interview with the Daily Telegraph earlier this week.
When asked if she enjoyed her support, she replied, "I do not comment, but I feel that I have to defend what is in it." national interest.
"Supporting the Prime Minister to get the best deal possible is my job."
In addition, the government is negotiating with DUP for support for the proposed agreement.
DUPs are currently refusing to support any proposal involving significant regulatory controls between Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom, fearing that this would undermine the Union.
However, according to the Daily Telegraph, the government plans to offer the DUP more money for Northern Ireland in exchange for its support.
A government source said, "It's becoming real now.
"I guess a fudge will be done.
"As long as the DUPs are removed, it should be fine. There is really no plan B. "
