The leading Brexiter Jacob Rees-Mogg called for a vote of no confidence in Theresa May on the most perilous day of her premiership, after claiming she had broken her own red lines on Brexit.
The outspoken chair of the European Research Group (ERG) of Tory Brexiters, who rejected the prime minister’s plan moments after it was published on Wednesday night, announced he was submitting a letter to the chair of the backbench 1922 Committee, Sir Graham Brady.
Up to a dozen other Tory backbenchers have confirmed they have submitted letters calling for May to step down over her Brexit proposal, including the former Brexit minister Steve Baker and fellow leavers Nadine Dorries and Andrew Bridgen.
Rees-Mogg’s decision came while May was continuing to face a barrage of questions from MPs about her Brexit deal, and while Downing Street was still reeling from a string of resignations, most damagingly that of the Brexit secretary, Dominic Raab.

The cost... a no deal Brexit. 
Personally I think that Brexit would be a disaster, but being half in/half out as this draft deal seems to offer is better than being fully out with no deal.
