Jacob Rees-Mogg today dismissed the Prime Minister's latest Brexit blueprint as he argued the Chequers plan fails to deliver on the demands of Leave voters.

Despite hailing the Chequers statement as a victory for the Government, Cabinet spiralled into chaos after Brexit Secretary David Davis resigned saying he could not back Theresa May.

Mr Rees-Mogg warned Mrs May that she will have to win the support of the Labour party to see her plans through as Tory MPs will not support her.

Speaking to Sky News, the North Somerset MP said: "It’s fascinating that the Prime Minister’s Chief of Staff is going to brief Labour members because I think if the Prime Minister wanted to get Chequers through, she’d be dependent on socialist votes.
