Theresa May was waved off by her husband Philip this morning while departing for Brussels to save Brexit after her make-or-break confidence vote win last night - where she will again beg European leaders to rescue her deal. Yesterday the Prime Minister was backed by Tory MPs by 200 to 117 in a confidence after conceding she will not lead the party into the 2022 general election - and the pair are understood to have celebrated with a glass of wine and some crisps. The Prime Minister will make her pitch to the heads of the 27 member states at a banquet this evening after the most important EU summit of her political career. EU sources have insisted there are no plans to offer her a 'legally binding' solution to the Irish backstop - but without one Mrs May's divisive deal will not get through Parliament, likely forcing a second referendum, a no deal Brexit or even a general election. Former ally Iain Duncan-Smith, who voted against the PM last night, said today that Mrs May should tell EU leaders: 'If you want a deal you'd better damn well step up to the plate' and warn them Britain's £39billion Brexit bill is 'fully at risk' unless they remove the backstop. After seeing off the coup a chastened Mrs May welcomed the win in a Downing Street speech where she acknowledged ‘a significant number of colleagues cast their votes against me’.
