Theresa May will try to face down her fiercest critics at a meeting in Parliament on Wednesday after a “heated” debate at her weekly Cabinet meeting about Brexit.

A senior Tory source said Mrs May was “taking the opportunity to talk to colleagues” at the 1922 Committee meeting after Tuesday’s Cabinet was dominated by no-deal preparations and fears among Eurosceptic ministers that Britain will get tied into the customs union indefinitely.

Mrs May was challenged at the meeting by more than half a dozen “impassioned” ministers to set an end-date so Britain does not remain in a customs union indefinitely after a 21-month transition period is over.
