HOORAY! Well done sir. Hopefully not the last either.

There's rumours Steve Baker MP has also resigned as a minister...

Hear minister is Steve Baker who is said to be about to resign or to have just done so

Sources confirm letters calling for vote of confidence in @theresa_may leadership going in to @Graham__Brady, chair of 1922. Tory Brexiters very unhappy - accuse PM of traducing those who voted to leave EU. This appears to be spontaneous, not coralled by ERG & @Jacob_Rees_Mogg

Reports: enough letters have been received by Chairman of the 1922 Committee to trigger a Conservative Party Leadership contest.

This is now a full on crisis for the Prime Minister.

Another minister has walked...

Suella Braverman MP has now resigned

“I think there could be a leadership challenge this week.. everyone thinks May would survive confidence vote... Let’s see” says one Tory Brexiter parliamentarian

One Eurosceptic source said David Davis's resignation was "the start of the fight back. He does not want the Tory party to go through another 1997".

The source added: "what she has done is not a sustainable policy to keep the party alive."

Senior ERG MP: “Thank god someone is finally putting their money where their mouth is. This is so obviously not the Brexit that the British people voted for. Everyone knows it but no one is saying it. Until now. And this is just the start.”

Not sure David Davis had a choice

Tory MPs are worrying about haemorrhaging support from Brexit voters in their constituencies. If @Nigel_Farage starts a new movement over the “Great Brexit Betrayal” many could lose seats

Confidence in Theresa May to get the right deal in the Brexit negotiations has fallen to a joint record low: 26%.

Bravo @BorisJohnson. Now can we please get rid of the appalling @theresa_may and get Brexit back on track.

Sky News now has a helicopter over Carlton Gardens (residence of foreign secretary). Something significant must be happening ...

RUH ROH

Whispers Tory MP s have reached the magic number of the 48 letters required to force a confidence vote - no way of knowing yet if true - meeting at 5.30

— Laura Kuenssberg (@bbclaurak) July 9, 2018

Definitely time for her to go, weak and unwilling to do what people have mandated her to do. Presumably she wanted to back out ages ago hence the election but didn't count on Corbyn being so useless that he couldn't win a sprint against someone running the wrong way

they quit like 4? days after they all supposedly agreed on this
I feel like if they actually had principles on this they wouldn't have waited so long or even agreed to the paper in the first place

new general election please

Another resignation just now by Chris Green MP who is PPS to the transport ministers.

Her authority is rapidly draining away, watching PMQs today you could feel the Tory ranks seething.

Outside 1922 meeting Jacob Rees Mogg says it’s “a matter of grave concern” that Downing St has been briefing Labour members. He hints that if the PM tried to get Chequers through on Lab votes the Tory party would split. “But it would be a split from the top.”

— Lewis Goodall (@lewis_goodall) July 9, 2018

BREAKING More Conservative Cabinet ministers will resign unless Theresa May drops her Chequers plan, senior Eurosceptic sources have told The Telegraph.
One source said: "This is defenestration by Cabinet. If you push on with Chequers you are going to lose you leadership."

— Christopher Hope📝 (@christopherhope) July 9, 2018

A bigger than usual group of 80 backbench Tory MPs has turned out for the meeting of the European Research Group tonight. Could be interesting.

— Christopher Hope📝 (@christopherhope) July 9, 2018

And finally, Farage is haunting Tory MPs.

Unless Brexit is back on track by March 2019, I will seriously consider putting my name forward to return as @UKIP leader. The will of 17.4m voters must be carried out. pic.twitter.com/BNLtA6xPiJ

That would only escalate things, for the worse. The current polling suggests no party would reach a majority, and we'd have some sort of rainbow coalition with Labour, the SNP, the Greens and the SDLP or the Tories, Liberal Democrats and DUP - totally unworkable and we'd all be back to the polls within 3 months of it.

The PM needs to go and as a Tory member I want her out this week.

ANOTHER resignation.

I've enjoyed a fantastic year as PPS to @BorisJohnson and six years as PPS to five different Ministers.
I've decided it's time to have greater freedom. I want to see the referendum result respected. And there are others areas of policy I want to speak more openly on.

some irony if he comes back and leeches a bunch of conservatives given the referendum was pretty much meant to shut them up

please provide evidence on how that is unworkable as other countries seem to manage coalitions
