Theresa May has been told to resign by Tory Brexiteer Sir Bill Cash, who described her decision to accept a six month Brexit extension as an “abject surrender”.

Confronting the Prime Minister in the Commons, Sir Bill, the chairman of the Commons EU scrutiny committee, claimed Mrs May had provoked widespread anger across the country and accused her of breaking her promises.

He argued the Withdrawal Agreement undermined British democracy and the constitutional status of Northern Ireland, and that it ran contrary to the national interest.

He added: “Will she resign?”

His comments were echoed by fellow Brexiteer Peter Bone, who asked Mrs May: When I asked the Prime Minister why she was seeking to extend Article 50...she said ‘as Prime Minister I could not consider a delay further beyond June 30.'

“We now have an extension of October. Prime Minister, how are you going to honour that commitment you gave to the House?”

Hitting back, Mrs May said she did not recognise Sir Bill's description of the Brexit deal, adding that she had throughout the Brexit process voted to deliver on the 2016 referendum result.

Turning to Mr Bone, she argued she could still honour that commitment if MPs voted for a deal.
