Mrs May has said she will step down if her Brexit deal gets through parliament, offering her critics the chance of a different prime minister to lead the next round of negotiations with Brussels about Britain's future ties to the bloc.The Mail on Sunday newspaper said Mrs May's advisers were divided over whether she should call an early election if she fails to win support for her Brexit deal from parliament in the coming week.
That meant an election could be called as early as Wednesday, the newspaper said, without citing sources. The Sunday Telegraph said senior members of the Conservative Party did not want Mrs May to lead them into a snap election, fearing the party would be"annihilated" at the polls if she faced down parliament over Brexit in the coming months.
