Theresa May could be hours away from a leadership challenge, as Tory MPs call for a vote of no-confidence in her.

It follows a devastating day for the PM, with seven resignations from her team - including cabinet ministers Dominic Raab and Esther McVey.

And tonight she surprised everyone by appointing a relative unknown to be Brexit Secretary, and announced the return of a minister who quit just seven months ago to fill the role of Work and Pensions Secretary.

In a speech last night, May was defiant, warning of "consequences" if she is forced out .

Tory Jacob Rees-Mogg has submitted a letter calling for a vote of no confidence in Mrs May. If 48 MPs submit such letters, a confidence vote is triggered .

It was later reported how Theresa May's government "could lose the support of the DUP unless she is replaced as the Tory leader".

We'll have all the latest as it happens, stay with us.
