May begs the opposition leader for support for her new deal, but even many in her own party are ready to move against her

May again appealed to law makers get behind her, offering the prospect of a possible second referendum on the agreement and closer trading arrangements with the EU as incentives to what she called the only way to prevent a no deal Brexit. Despite the criticism, May stood firm, urging law makers to back the bill and then have a chance to make changes to it, so they can have more control over the final shape of Brexit.

The pound was on track for its longest ever losing streak against the euro as some traders said they saw the rising chance of a no-deal Brexit. Those fears pushed investors into the relatively safety of government bonds — particularly those that offer protection against a spike in inflation. More Conservative law makers handed over letters to the 1922 Committee, a Conservative group that can make or break party leaders, to demand a no-confidence vote in May, whose strategy to leave the EU has been left in tatters. Local reporters said there were rumours that cabinet ministers were starting a move against her.
