British Prime Minister Theresa May on Monday convened what is being branded a “war Cabinet” meeting as a fresh round of infighting within the ruling Conservative party over Brexit threatened to escalate into a full-blown rebellion.
Tories are believed to be preparing to sign letters demanding a vote of no confidence in May’s authority, to try and take the total closer to the 48 MPs required to trigger a leadership contest.
The Prime Minister is hoping to impose order at the meeting of the Brexit sub-committee, charged with mapping out the way forward in negotiations with the European Union (EU).
