«Breaking News» Cabinet at war over how to respond to Brexit deal disaster

The Cabinet descended into bitter infighting over how to handle the Brexit deal defeat today.

Remainer and Brexiteer factions clashed over whether to stage 'indicative votes' in the Commons to work out what approach might command a majority.

They also did battle over whether the government should reach out to Labour, and rule out leaving the EU without any agreement.

The splits deepened as Mrs May gathered her team hours before the crucial Commons showdown on the Brexit deal.

Ministers led by Chancellor Philip Hammond are understood to have urged Mrs May to cling on regardless of the scale of her loss, voicing alarm about the economic panic her departure could cause.

Work and Pensions Secretary Amber Rudd (pictured left arriving for Cabinet today) is thought to be urging Mrs May to seek a softer Brexit if her deal fails. Steve Barclay (centre) and Chris Grayling (right) were also at Cabinet  

The premier insisted she was the 'servant of the people' and was determined to stay on to implement the referendum result, saying her plan was still the 'only option'.   

MailOnline understands there were pointed exchanges over whether to stage a series of 'indicative votes' to establish what Brexit options might command a majority in Parliament.

Remain-leaning ministers including Amber Rudd, David Gauke and David Lidington were 'heavily sat on' by a more hawkish group led by Jeremy Hunt, Sajid Javid, Andrea Leadsom and Gavin Williamson. One supporter of the plan admitted it was given a 'good kicking'.

Mr Gauke also urged the PM to rule out a no-deal Brexit, but was slapped down by the same combination of colleagues, according to sources. 

Mrs May will have three days to set out her 'Plan B', and is preparing to fly to Brussels almost immediately for more talks. The German foreign minister Heiko Maas today held out the prospect of reopening negotiations. 

Senior sources likened the Commons clash to a big football match that was going to a 'replay'. Another aide said: 'She is not going to abandon the deal and she is not going to quit.' 

However, Remainer rebels are plotting to wrestle control of the process from the government and hand it to Parliament. 

Other options being pushed by MPs include a Norway-style free relationship, a second referendum or a general election - although there does not appear to be any clear majority in Parliament for any of the outcomes. 

The PM's spokesman said Cabinet discussed what will happen before and after the crunch vote tonight. 

'The PM said the 'Government is the servant of the people',' the spokesman said. 

'She believes passionately that we must deliver on the result of the 2016 referendum.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
