Theresa May has held peace talks with Brexit rebels who tried to topple her from Number Ten just over a week ago, it has emerged.
The PM invited rebel ringleader Jacob Rees-Mogg and other hardline Brexiteers to Downing Street and urged them 'as long-standing Conservatives' to unite the party.
And she even lent a sympathetic ear to Mr Rees-Mogg as he complained about the negative press coverage his failed coup received.
The peace summit was held six days after the dramatic plot to topple Mrs May failed as she won the confidence vote by 200 to 117.
The bid to oust her dealt a major blow to her authority and she had to promise she would quit before the 2022 General Election as she tried to win the support of her MPs.
Yes Mrs May held out the olive branch to ten of her most fierce critics in the Conservative Party at the meeting at No10 just six days after the confidence vote.
One of those at the meeting told The Times: 'She appealed to us as long-standing Conservatives to come together and find a way through.'

The source said Mr Rees-Mogg said it was nice of Mrs May to invite him so soon after the failed coup, and told her 'even the policeman on the door looked surprised'.
Mr Rees-Mogg, leader of the European Research Group of backbench Tory Brexiteers, reportedly mentioned that media coverage of the coup had been negative.
But a sympathetic PM joked that if he though his coverage had been bad, he should imagine what it was like being her for the past two and a half years.
One of those at the meeting told the newspaper: 'She was supremely relaxed. We had an hour. It was an eclectic mix of people.'
At one point Mrs may - the daughter of a vicar - remarked that the main difference between her and Mrs Rees-Mogg is that she is a member of the Church of England whereas he is a staunch Catholic.
News of the peace summit has emerged after Mr Rees-Mogg launched an astonishing U-turn - publicly pledging his loyalty to the leader that he tried to oust.
The MP for North East Somerset stood up in Parliament earlier this week to announce that he now does have confidence in Mrs May,

And he followed up the act of loyalty the following day by promising that he would never vote to topple a Tory Government under the Fixed Term Parliaments Act.
He said: ‘I lost the vote and I don’t believe in a losers vote.'
He added: ‘Look, I’ve had my vote of no confidence in her and I lost, and I am not going to repeat the exercise.
‘The Prime Minister is secure under the party rules for a year, but I think to try and rerun something when you have lost it is not reasonable. It is not democratic.'
His remarks were in stark contrast with the comments he made immediately after the confidence vote, when he toured the TV studios to demand that Mrs May quit.

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.”
