WHO ARE THE KEY REBELS?

ANNE MARIE MORRIS

THE MP for Newton Abbott was suspended from the Conservative Party by Mrs May last year after using the N-word in a speech to the East India Club. ‘Now we get to the real n***** in the woodpile, which is, in two years what happens if there is no deal?’ she said.

Reacted furiously to Chequers, saying it failed to meet Tory manifesto commitments to take Britain out of the single market, customs union and jurisdiction of the European Court.

What she said at the meeting: ‘This has gone on too long. When is the exit date?’

ANDREW BRIDGEN

THE arch-Brexiteer, pictured with his wife Jackie, sent his no-confidence letter shortly after Chequers, in which he claimed Britain’s position amounted to a ‘complete capitulation’ and accused Mrs May of insulting the intelligence of the public. The 53-year-old Leicestershire MP, whose constituency voted 61 per cent leave, has made no secret of his disdain for Mrs May ever since.

What he said: ‘Theresa May leading the Tories into the next election would be like asking a survivor of the Charge of the Light Brigade to have another go.’

JAMES DUDDRIDGE

A LEADING voice in the ERG meeting calling for a move against the PM now, Mr Duddridge, 47, was highly critical of Chequers. He called the proposal ‘deeply disappointing’ and would leave Britain as a ‘supplicant puppy’ and ‘rule taker’.

The MP for Southend once said ministers should tell the European Commission to ‘sod off’ rather than pay benefits to Romanian and Bulgarian migrants. Refuses to say if he has put a no-confidence letter in to the 1922 Committee.

What he said: ‘We’re being boiled alive here.’
