Theresa May is preparing an humiliating retreat over her Brexit deal in the face of a massive Tory revolt. The PM is set to cancel a showdown Commons vote tomorrow to avoid catastrophic defeat. Mrs May has been locked in intense talks with allies and aides as they try to find a way through the dire situation. Some 110 Tory MPs are pledged to oppose the plan, making victory all-but impossible as they line up with Labour, the SNP, and the Lib Dems. A spokeswoman for the PM said this morning that vote was 'going ahead as planned'. But within an hour three senior sources told MailOnline they are certain that the Commons showdown will be put off. A decision is expected to be confirmed at the end of the call. Mrs May is making what could be an agonising statement to MPs later this afternoon. A climbdown will allow Mrs May to avoid catastrophic defeat, and go back to Brussels to try to get more concessions. But it would also demonstrate how low her authority has sunk. The dramatic developments came as Tory infighting escalated dramatically, with leadership rivals getting ready to pounce. Foreign minister Alan Duncan warned that those who kill off Mrs May deal 'will forever be known as the wreckers'.
