Theresa May has called off an 11th-hour trip to Brussels and was today urged to delay her Brexit doomsday vote in the Commons tomorrow after she again failed to make any breakthrough in negotiations with the EU.
The Prime Minister had her plane on standby but after a phone call with President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker last night she cancelled plans to fly out to the Europe as the deadlock continues.
Today it emerged that Mrs May is being urged by Conservative MPs to stop the vote on her deal in the Commons tomorrow night because it is 'inevitable' it will be defeated by 100-plus votes.
Instead she is being advised to replace it with a motion on the kind of Brexit deal wanted by Tories to put pressure back on the EU to help deliver her divorce by March 29.
A source told The Times: 'As it stands her deal is going to be defeated. It has been made clear to Downing Street that it would be eminently sensible to avoid that by proposing a motion that the party can support. Whether they listen or not is another matter'.
If the vote goes ahead and she loses some in her party are ready to call for Mrs May to resign immediately.

Leadership candidate Boris Johnson today called on MPs to reject her deal - and accused the EU of showing 'chronic disdain' towards Britain by refusing to change the Irish backstop.
But Michael Gove said that voting for the PM's deal is the only way to 'heal the bitter divides across the country' - saying if it falls there will be a democratic crisis in the country because the PM would lose control of Brexit.
Brussels will demand another £13.5billion in Brexit divorce payments if Theresa May seeks an extension to Article 50, it is claimed.
EU states are said to be 'hardening' their stance against a longer Brexit process and could force Britain to stay in a customs union as the price of agreeing a delay.
MPs could vote on a postponement this week if, as expected, Theresa May's deal is defeated again in the House of Commons tomorrow.
The PM has suggested a three-month delay but EU diplomats will demand more money if the extension is longer than a few weeks, the Daily Telegraph reported.
An EU source told the newspaper: 'Lines are hardening against extension... Anything more than a few weeks will come with legal and financial conditions attached.'
Brussels could ask Britain to pay an extra £13.5billion a year - £1bn a month - on top of the current £39bn divorce deal, it is reported.
The EU could also push for Britain to stay in a customs union, a move opposed by many Brexiteers who want the UK to strike new trade deals instead.
All 27 of the EU's remaining member states would have to agree an extension beyond March 29 if it is requested by Mrs May.
A plane was reported to be on standby at RAF Northolt to fly Mrs May to Brussels to clinch an agreement if there was any sign of a deal emerging from talks over the weekend.
But there has been no sign of a breakthrough and Mrs May will have to take her deal before Parliament on Tuesday with the controversial backstop still in place.
Michel Barnier attended the Ireland-France rugby match on Sunday, pictured, rather than remaining in Brussels in a sign of slow progress in Brexit talks
In an apparent indication of the lack of progress, the EU's chief negotiator Michel Barnier chose to travel to Dublin to attend the Ireland v France rugby international rather than remain in the Belgian capital.
Tory Brexiteers have said a defeat for Mrs May was 'inevitable' unless the Prime Minister was able to secure significant changes to the arrangements for Northern Ireland.
Mrs May has said if she loses the vote on Tuesday, there will be further votes on Wednesday on whether the UK should leave with no-deal and on Thursday on whether they should seek an extension to Article 50.
Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt warned Tory colleagues that they risked losing Brexit altogether if they did not back the PM.
He said there was 'wind in the sails' of the opponents of Brexit and that it would be 'devastating' for the Conservatives if they failed to deliver on their commitment to take Britain out of the EU.
Meanwhile former Cabinet minister Nicky Morgan said Mrs May could be forced out of No 10 if her Brexit strategy was 'dismantled' by MPs this week.

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.
