Theresa May could be gone in just DAYS as Cabinet ministers plot to replace ...

Theresa May is facing an open revolt from cabinet ministers with rival plots to replace her, as Brexit collapses into chaos.

As ministers complain that the Prime Minister's judgement had reportedly gone 'haywire' in recent weeks her de-facto deputy David Lidington was named as a possible caretaker if she is forced out.

But Brexiteers who could not stomach the little-known Remainer being in charge at a crucial time for Brexit are plotting to get 2016 Leave mastermind and Environment Secretary Michael Gove installed instead.

Rumours have circulated for days that many MPs might support her Brexit deal if it is put to the vote a third time if she was to agree to step down.

Last night her former policy adviser MP George Freeman said it was 'all over for the PM', tweeting: 'She's done her best. But across the country you can see the anger.

'Everyone feels betrayed. Government's gridlocked. Trust in democracy collapsing. This can't go on. We need a new PM who can reach out (and) build some sort of coalition for a Plan B.'

Mrs May is spending the weekend at her country retreat, Chequers, following her humiliation in Brussels on Thursday, where EU leaders refused to give her the Brexit delay she wanted.

But while she regrouped in the Home Counties 11 Cabinet ministers said that they wanted her to go, with a plan to confront her when Cabinet meets week, according to the Sunday Times.   

Mr Lidington, a former Europe Minister, is reportedly backed by at least six ministers, said to include Remainers Philip hammond.Greg Clark, Amber Rudd and David Gauke.

Pro-EU former education secretary Nicky Morgan told the Sunday Telegraph that Cabinet ministers should tell Mrs May 'it's time to go' while Brexiteer Steve Baker said potential leadership contenders in the Government should 'act now'. 

Tory backbencher Anne-Marie Trevelyan wrote in the same paper: 'We now need a leader who believes in our country and wants to take her on the next stage of her journey.'

Conservative peer Lord Gadhia, a former member of David Cameron's inner circle, said the upcoming days in Parliament may be 'very dramatic' and could see the end of Mrs May's time as premier.

It came as an estimated one million people joined a march on Parliament yesterday demanding a final say for the public over Brexit.

The Commons is expected to be given the third chance to vote on her Withdrawal Agreement this week after EU leaders gave her as little as three weeks to create order from the Brexit chaos.

But on Friday night Mrs May wrote to parliamentarians warning if there is insufficient support for her Withdrawal Agreement in the coming days that she could seek an extension to Britain's EU membership beyond the European Parliament elections. 

At the EU Council in Brussels leaders offered to extend Article 50 until May 22 if MPs vote for a deal in Parliament next week.

But without a deal the Prime Minister she was given a fortnight 'flextension' to decide her next move.

MPs are expected to make moves to take control of Brexit this week, which could lead to a second referendum or a longer extension to Article 50 keeping us in the EU for as long as two years.

Cabinet coup: Theresa May is told she must go as ministers plot to install Michael Gove in No 10 to save Brexit 

Theresa May could be ousted from No 10 within days after her Cabinet plotted to replace her with Michael Gove as a caretaker Prime Minister. 

A senior Downing Street source told The Mail on Sunday last night that even Mrs May's Chief Whip, Julian Smith, had advised her to set out her departure plans, with Environment Secretary Mr Gove emerging as the 'consensus choice' to succeed her. 

Mr Gove is being championed by Cabinet Brexiteers who are furious about what they see as an attempted 'coup' by Remain-backing David Lidington, Mrs May's de facto deputy.

 At least six ministers are supportive of installing Lidington, the de facto deputy prime minister, as a caretaker in No 10 to deliver Brexit and then make way for a full leadership contest in the autumn.

Lidington's supporters include cabinet remainers Greg Clark, Amber Rudd and David Gauke. The chancellor, Philip Hammond, also believes Lidington should take over if May refuses this week to seek a new consensus deal on Brexit.

A senior Government source said yesterday that there was now 'complete unanimity' in the Cabinet that Mrs May should step down as soon as possible.

In a number of astonishing, fast-moving developments, coming just days before a series of historic Commons votes:

No 10 warned Tory rebels that, if they didn't back Mrs May's deal, the Commons could revoke Article 50, effectively cancelling Brexit;Mrs May mounted a last-ditch effort to save the deal by pleading with Jacob Rees-Mogg to drop his opposition – as his European Research Group made plans to select their preferred leadership candidate;A tearful Tory whip accused Mrs May of 'betraying Brexit' and 'destroying our party';Boris Johnson demanded to the Prime Minister's face that she rule out leading the party into an Election, while her aides wargamed what would happen if Mrs May went to the country if the Commons rejected her Brexit deal again;No 10 scheduled the crunch votes for Wednesday and Thursday, with MPs voting on Mrs May's deal and alternative options such as membership of a customs union;Chancellor Philip Hammond refused demands by Cabinet colleagues to 'wield the knife' and tell the Prime Minister that she had to resign;Tory MP Nigel Evans said that, if Mrs May agreed to resign, then the party's Brexiteers would support her deal;Central London was brought to a standstill as anti-Brexit protesters staged a major march calling for another EU referendum.

The Cabinet's move against Mrs May comes after a disastrous week in which she blamed MPs for the delay to Brexit in a live televised address, which left Mr Smith incandescent with rage. She was then humiliated by EU leaders at a summit which agreed that, if her deal is defeated again, then Parliament will have just two more weeks to find an alternative, or risk a no-deal Brexit on April 12.

A senior Government source said Mr Smith had 'conveyed the message [that Mrs May's Cabinet colleagues believe she should stand down] to the PM'.

A Downing Street spokesman said that they did not comment on private conversations.

The collapse in the Prime Minister's authority has triggered rival Cabinet plots by Remainers and Brexiteers to seize power.

Pro-Remain Cabinet Ministers, led by Mr Hammond and Work and Pensions Secretary Amber Rudd, have been backing Cabinet Office Minister Mr Lidington to take over as temporary Prime Minister.

But when pro-Brexit Cabinet Ministers, led by Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson and Chief Secretary to the Treasury Liz Truss, found out that Mr Lidington was holding talks with Labour MPs about votes on 'soft' Brexit measures they moved quickly to stifle the plot by backing Mr Gove instead.

Under the plan, Mr Gove would see through Brexit as PM, before a full leadership contest in the summer.

One senior Cabinet Minister told The Mail on Sunday: 'The public will never forgive us if in a time of historical crisis our answer is David Lidington. This is where it is going to get very scary, whatever you think about it'.

Last night Henry Newman, one of Michael Gove's most loyal supporters and a former aide, said the Prime Minister's 'ill-judged' speech blaming MPs for the Brexit crisis 'united Labour and Tory critics against her'. He added: ' I think she will have to offer to step down to get her deal through.'

A series of so-called 'indicative votes' will be held next week to test which alternatives to Mrs May's deal are likely to pass the Commons, including a Norway-style customs union or even cancelling Brexit.
