Theresa May and her bitterly divided cabinet will meet for five hours of crisis talks in a desperate attempt to salvage her EU withdrawal agreement after MPs rejected four variations of a 'soft Brexit'. With options including no deal, a general election and a second referendum on the table, ministers will hold a three-hour 'political cabinet' without civil servants present and then discuss government business for a further two hours.

According to The Times, Philip Hammond, the chancellor, will tell the cabinet the government has to make its own compromise proposal or admit parliament has failed "and put it back to the people in a referendum" since the party and the country cannot afford an election. Mr Hammond said on Sophy Ridge on Sunday on Sky News last month that a second referendum was a 'perfectly coherent proposition' that 'deserves to be considered'.
