The political crisis in the UK shows no sign of abating as Theresa May was forced to shelve the publication of – and vote on – her Brexit bill.
MPs were told the government is now planning to finally reveal the detail of the withdrawal agreement bill in the first week of June – not Friday, as she promised.
The vote was pencilled in for Friday 7 June, but the Commons will not be sitting that day, fuelling the expectation that the bill will be dropped altogether.
It comes after Commons leader Andrea Leadsom stepped down on Wednesday night over the PM’s Brexit policy.
The prime minister also has a date of destiny with the head of the powerful 1922 Committee of Tory backbenchers tomorrow, at which she will be ordered to accelerate her departure from No 10.
