A Conservative MP has warned that the party must either change Theresa May's Brexit policy or change the prime minister.

Andrew Bridgen, who had submitted a letter of no confidence in Ms May earlier this summer, added he had not changed his mind over her leadership.

His remarks came as the prime minister convened her cabinet on Tuesday morning, telling her top team they will be given a weekly update on Britain's preparations for a no-deal Brexit.

A spokesman for the prime minister told journalists at a regular briefing: “As we move towards exit day, it makes sense that all ministers are informed all that’s taking place in relation to all scenarios.”

He explained that the briefings would take in what preparations and developments are taking place both in relation to no-deal planning and also for planning for a deal.

On Tuesday Mr Raab told ministers that “good progress” was being made, but it comes amid concern that the UK is not ready for the March 29 2019 departure day.

The meeting came as the Prime Minister faced increasing pressure for a breakthrough in talks with the EU, after last week's summit ended with no deal.

Mrs May told MPs on Monday that the terms of Britain's withdrawal from the EU were 95% agreed but the "sticking point" remained the issue of the Irish border.

On Wednesday - after prime minister's questions - Ms May will also attend the 1922 committee of Conservative backbench MPs

It means the prime minister will have to speak to and take questions from her backbenchers behind closed doors with many of them said to be plotting her downfall.
