Theresa May warned dozens of Tories could rebel over no-deal

The UK government has been warned that dozens of normally loyal conservative Members of Parliaments (MPs) could rebel against the government in a bid to prevent a no-deal Brexit.

Leaders of a group of MPs comprising leavers and remainers say they may back alternatives if Mrs May’s revoked deal cannot command a common’s majority.

Co-chairman Andrew Percy said more than 30 may try to block no deal.

The government indicated that productive talks in Brussels aimed at addressing MPs concerns continue urgently.

The UK remains on course to leave the European Union on March the 29th.
