The Daily Mail regards the intervention on Brexit by three cabinet ministers - Amber Rudd, David Gauke and Greg Clark - as them "publicly serving notice" on Theresa May.

It says their "no-deal revolt" could be joined by up to 20 junior ministers - and 100 Conservative MPs who, with Labour support, would be certain to defeat Mrs May and force her to delay Brexit.

A source insists they are not issuing an ultimatum to the prime minister, but challenging the hardline European Research Group to support her Brexit deal.

On a high

It quotes an interview with the Evening Standard , in which he indicates that the party leadership is "moving towards support" for another referendum.

In what it describes as a significant intervention, the Politics Home website says Mr McDonnell has asked backbenchers Peter Kyle and Phil Wilson to redraft their amendment offering support for Theresa May's deal providing there is a fresh public vote on any Brexit deal backed by MPs.

Elsewhere, the Guardian says Brexiteers in the cabinet are pushing for the prime minister to step down after the local elections in May, to allow a new leader to take forward the next phase of the negotiations.

They are said to fear she could be defeated in a vote of no confidence at the end of the year and want her to go out "on a high" if she can deliver her deal and capitalise in the polls.

Care concerns

He is said to be preparing to meet Jeremy Corbyn on Monday to discuss his appointment as the party's anti-Semitism surveillance commissioner with a remit to "see everything and talk to everybody" and provide public reports on its handling of complaints.

The Daily Telegraph says it has learned that Health Secretary Matt Hancock has warned the prime minister that plans to cap the maximum people will pay for their care in England to £100,0000 will "lead to significant tax rises".

Mr Hancock is said to be "concerned" that the cap is due to be included in a forthcoming Green Paper on social care, believing that it will benefit the well-off and impose a bureaucratic burden on councils.
