Boris Johnson slammed the Brexit deal tonight and warned Theresa May her plans have 'reached the end of the road' as hardliners prepare to kill off the package.

Tory rebels are meeting now to make a final call on how to vote in tonight's showdown as the Prime Minister faces a humbling defeat of up to 150.

Mr Johnson endorsed no deal as the only way for Britain to leave the EU with 'self respect' - warning the PM defeat tonight means the ailing package should be 'put to bed'.

Of course this was predictable. EU has no incentive to help her out and every incentive to be obdurate. Once May goes down, only two options left. Britain goes WTO on the EU or sues for a delay of Brexit. The EU already knows Parliament will dismiss the WTO option. So delay, then a new vote for the UK, maybe a Corbyn PM. All good for the EU.
PM May is giving a case study in how not to negotiate.
