Eurosceptics have secured the 48 letters from MPs needed to force a ballot that could end the PM's time as leader. Sir Graham Brady, the chair of the powerful 1922 committee, said the threshold had been 'exceeded'. 'In accordance with the rules, a ballot will be held between 1800 and 2000 on Wednesday December 12. 'The votes will be counted immediately afterwards and an announcement will be made as soon as possible in the evening.' Rebels were jubilant that they had finally secured the numbers last night after Cabinet minister Owen Paterson joined efforts to oust Mrs May in the wake of her humiliating decision to drop a Commons vote on her Brexit deal. Mrs May's allies have repeatedly insisted she will fight any effort to oust her - but her position has weakened significantly over recent weeks and may now be under serious threat.
