The PM briefed ministers on the dramatic developments in Brussels over the weekend - and how she hopes to win over mutinous MPs to her plan. Downing Street wants to mount a huge PR drive to force the agreement through Parliament in a crunch vote next month. There are claims the highlight of the campaign could be a TV showdown with Jeremy Corbyn . But Brexiteer Cabinet ministers are still deeply unhappy with package - with Andrea Leadsom and Penny Mordaunt among those on 'resignation watch'. They remained stubbornly silent yesterday while other colleagues voiced support for the deal. Other ministers are said to have formed an alliance to push for a Norway-style relationship with the EU if Mrs May's deal falls in the face of massive opposition from scores of Tories, Labour, the SNP and Lib Dems. Even supportive ministers are in despair at the situation, with one senior source telling MailOnline they feared the Tories were about to experience a 'nuclear meltdown' that could rip the party to shreds.
