'We should Deliver for the British People': Theresa May calls on Rebel MPs to back her vision for Brexit in key vote TODAY... or face Handing the keys of Number 10 to Jeremy Corbyn
Theresa May made the stark warning is a last-ditch plea to her MPs to back her plan at a meeting in Parliament tonight just 24 hours before the crucial Commons vote.
The PM said the thorny issue of Brexit has divided the Tories for the many years she has been in politics - hinting that her deal could finally put the issue to rest.
And she told MPs: 'We have to deliver Brexit - it is the instruction the British people gave us.' Tory MP and Brexiteer Mark Francois left early and said he thinks her deal will still be rejected by Tory MPs in the crunch vote in 24 hours time.
The PM's eleventh-hour plea came shortly after Treasury minister Mel Stride was pictured leaving Downing Street clutching a sheet of paper bearing the words 'No food. No Channel tunnel'
Addressing MPs last night, Mrs May again urged them to recognise that a no-deal Brexit represented the 'real threat' to the unity of the UK, as it would fuel calls for Scottish independence.
And she cautioned Eurosceptics that killing off her package and trying to force through departure without any agreement could mean the country never leaves the bloc.
'When the history books are written, people will look at the decision of this House tomorrow and ask, did we deliver on the country's vote to leave the European Union?
'Did we safeguard our economy, our security and our Union? Or did we let the British people down?
'I say we should deliver for the British people and get on with building a brighter future for our country by backing this deal tomorrow.'
