Mrs May made her final gamble to try and get the Brexit deal across the line by promising to leave No 10 if Tory Brexiteer rebels finally back down
Daily Mail: The DUP crushes May's hopes hours after her leadership sacrifice for Brexit: Allies won't back PM's deal despite offer to stand down by May 22nd IF Tories support her. . . and Boris couldn't wait to take her up on it!

* Amid mounting pressure from Brexiteers and frustrated ministers she admitted to a need for 'new leadership'
* The PM set no date for her departure but promised she would be gone before EU trade negotiations begin
* Speaker John Bercow says the government must change May's deal to bring a third vote this week
* Jacob Rees-Mogg says Remainers will thwart referendum if deal doesn't pass by the end of this week
* He said that 'all other potential outcomes' set to be voted on in Parliament tonight are worse than this deal
* Despite May's promise to go ERG sources told MailOnline tonight the deal was still '100 per cent' set to fail
The DUP crushed Theresa May's hopes of saving her Brexit deal tonight as they rejected her offer to resign in return for rebel votes.
DUP leader Arlene Foster said her party still could not support the deal because it 'poses a threat to the integrity of the UK'. A party statement said 'we will not be supporting the Government if they table a fresh meaningful vote' - with Westminster leader Nigel Dodds vowing to vote No.
The hammer blow came hours after Mrs May sensationally promised to quit Downing Street in return for Tory Brexiteer rebels passing her deal as she admitted her time as Prime Minister was almost over.
