UK Prime Minister Theresa May’s spokesman said today that there is “strong support from the business community in recent days” for her highly criticized Brexit draft agreement. Meanwhile, May is expected to appoint another Brexit minister, rather than getting rid of the department. But at the same time, it’s also reported that May will face a no-confidence vote as soon as next Tuesday as Conservatives gather 48 written requests.
So far, 19 Conservative MPS have made public their requests. ERG leader Jacob Rees-Mogg led the way. Others include Henry Smith, Sheryll Murray, Anne Marie-Morris, Lee Rowley, Steve Baker, Simon Clarke, James Duddridge, Andrea Henkyns, Andrew Bridgen, Philip Davies, Peter Bone, Nadine Dorries, Martin Vickers, Adam Holloway, John Whittingdale, Laruence Robertson, Mark Francois and Maria Caulfield. And of course, there are those tho haven’t made the request public.
