New photo Remainer MPs plot Brexit 'coup' to take control of Commons business

Theresa May is facing an all-out bid by Remainer rebels to stop Brexit going ahead by tearing up the Commons rulebook. 

The 'coup' could see the government stripped of control over business in Parliament - paralysing the PM and potentially allowing MPs to prevent the UK crashing out without a deal.

The move could be launched within hours or the PM's Brexit plan being heavily defeated on Tuesday, as seems inevitable.

The manoeuvring was only uncovered by Chief Whip Julian Smith when he overheard conspirators in the MPs' cloakroom. Ministers have been warned success for the plotters could make it impossible for the government to cling on.

The high-stakes battle emerged as the PM launched another desperate effort to salvage the package she has thrashed out with Brussels.

Mrs May said failing to deliver on the verdict of the referendum would be 'unforgivable' and a 'catastrophe' for democracy. 

But hardline Remainers and Brexiteers have been mobilising in a bid to thwart her plans.  

Downing Street said it was 'extremely concerned' about a backbench plot to change Commons rules to enable backbench motions to take precedence over Government business. 

One senior source branded the plan a 'very British coup', according to the Sunday Times.  

The tactic apparently emerged when one of the conspirators was overheard in the MPs' cloakroom by government chief whip Julian Smith.

He reportedly sought advice from legal experts, who said: 'Such an attempt represents a clear and present danger to all government business.

'Without control of the order paper, the government has no control over the House of Commons and the parliamentary business and legislation necessary to progress government policies. The government would lose its ability to govern.'    

Tory rebel ringleader Dominic Grieve is said to have refused to deny he is involved in the scheme. 

Mr Grieve secretly met John Bercow last week just hours before the Speaker threw out centuries of tradition to scupper Mrs May’s Brexit plans.

The pair spoke in Mr Bercow’s grace-and-favour Commons apartment the day before the Speaker tore up the rule book to allow the former Attorney General to table an amendment forcing the PM to table a 'Plan B' within three days of her expected defeat. 

Tory ex-PM Sir John Major today called for Article 50 to be revoked to give the UK more time, saying it was the 'only sensible course'. 

Meanwhile, Labour is gearing up to stage a no-confidence vote immediately after the Brexit deal decision - potentially as early as Wednesday.

But writing in the Sunday Express, Mrs May pleaded with parliamentarians to 'do what is right for our country' and back her controversial exit plan.

She said the UK risks crashing out of the EU without a deal or, if MPs are 'unwilling' to face the uncertainty of no deal, then the UK may not leave at all.

In what she described as the 'biggest and most important decision that any MP of our generation will be asked to make', the Prime Minister said it was time for politicians to 'deliver' for the people.

'You, the British people, voted to leave. And then, in the 2017 General Election, 80 per cent of you voted for MPs who stood on manifestos to respect that referendum result,' she wrote. 

'You have delivered your instructions. Now it is our turn to deliver for you.'

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
