WATCH: Rees-Mogg signals support for a challenge to May’s leadership

He and the ERG leadership have held out for many months, but he suggests that the time has now come.

McVey is the next domino to fall. She quits. The spotlight switches to Mordaunt.

She had little alternative after calling for a vote on the draft deal in Cabinet yesterday, and being rebuffed by the Prime Minister, the Cabinet Secretary and the Chief Whip.

Raab quits. If May can’t persuade her Brexit Secretary to back her deal, who can she persuade?

This blow to the heart of the Government does nothing to make a challenge less likely. Get ready for Run Raabit Run Raabit Run Run Run.

Changing the Prime Minister, in itself, would solve nothing

A new leader would need a new plan to reverse this evident humiliation of May’s leadership and of British statecraft.

May’s Deal 1) Andrew Feldman – Party members must back it and her. Let’s not give Corbyn the crisis he craves.

If he can’t get an early election, he would take a disorderly departure from the EU, leading to a recession – and to victory at a later date.

May’s Deal 2) Rebecca Ryan – It endangers Leave. Now the 51 MPs who have pledged to Stand Up for Brexit must keep their promise

I am deeply disappointed by the path that the Prime Minister has chosen. It seems to be the very opposite of what the British people voted for.

May’s Deal 3) Alex Morton – If the Commons rejects it, here are three alternatives

Perhaps the Prime Minister will secure Parliament’s approval. But if she does not, the Conservative Party must choose a direction quickly.

The draft Political Declaration on the Framework of the Future Relationship: link to full text

A mere seven pages rather than the three-figure total for the Withdrawal Agreement. Ambiguity reigns.

The draft Withdrawal Agreement between the UK and the EU: link to full text

It’s 585 pages in all. The arbitration section runs from page 281 to page 295. The Northern Ireland protocal covers pages 302 to 311.

WATCH: The Prime Minister says that the Cabinet’s “collective decision” is to agree the draft Brexit deal

But was it unanimous? And if not, what follows? She says the choices were “difficult” and debate “impassioned”.

May statement due for 17.00 pulled. Cabinet may not finish until after 19.00.

Interpretation one: its members are talking at length, but there’s no real resistance to the Prime Minister’s draft Brexit plan. Interpretation two: it is running into trouble.

WATCH: Foster – “We could not as Unionists support a deal that broke up the United Kingdom”

The DUP leader says that “there will be consequences” if the Prime Minister proposes one.

May’s choice today. The possibility of her Government collapsing soon…or the probability of it doing so now

The DUP hates the idea of Corbyn in Downing Street. But it is very hard to imagine it waving the draft deal through.

Raab, Cox, Gove, Fox, Mordaunt – all these Cabinet members, and others, should prepare to resign today

They should first seek to persuade May not to press for a decision, since there will have been no opportunity for full timely study of the text.

Daniel Hannan: May’s deal. It leaves us facing colonial rule from Brussels, of the sort imposed on Bosnia following the Yugoslav war.

Cowardice and lack of vision have brought us to this pass – facing all the costs and obligations of EU membership, but with no voice, no vote and no veto.
