Theresa May to hit back at Brexit plan critics on Sophy Ridge On Sunday

Theresa May will come out fighting in a Sky News interview, hitting back at Tory MPs bidding to remove her and cabinet ministers demanding a better Brexit deal.

Under more scrutiny and pressure than ever before, the prime minister will be appear on Sophy Ridge On Sunday at the start of a week, which if it goes wrong for her, could see her lose her job.
Mrs May is under attack on three fronts:

• Tory backbenchers led by the European Research Group's Jacob Rees-Mogg claim they are close to securing the 48 MPs required to trigger a vote of no confidence.
• Five pro-Brexit cabinet ministers led by the Leader of the Commons Andrea Leadsom are demanding that she goes back to Brussels to get a better deal on leaving the European Union.
• And Dominic Raab, who quit as Brexit secretary on Thursday, has accused the prime minister of failing to stand up to a bullying European Union over the Brexit deal.
