Parliament will vote on a range of different Brexit options tonight. These will include remaining in the European customs union, holding a second EU membership referendum or even revoking Article 50. Resignations could take place if the Government whips against the Brexit alternatives, according to reports.
Speaking to The Daily Telegraph a Cabinet insider warned up to 20 ministers could quit creating “carnage”.
These are expected to be at a junior level, with Cabinet ministers who support a soft Brexit remaining in place for the time being.
If Mrs May whips the vote the source warned: “There won’t be a junior Remain minister left in Government.”
Cabinet ministers Amber Rudd, David Gauke and Greg Clark, who all oppose a hard Brexit, are said to be arguing against whipping the Brexit options votes.
