The number of Tory MPs who have publicly said they won't back the Prime Minister's deal has hit 100.

Matthew Offord became lucky number 100 as he confirmed: "as the deal stands at the moment, I will vote against it".

The arithmetic was already tricky for Theresa May after the DUP, who prop up her minority government, indicated they could vote down the deal.

That is because they believe the Prime Minister's deal will create a "border" down the Irish sea.

While the majority of Labour MPs, 11 Lib Dems and the 35-strong SNP will also vote against.

Even those Labour MPs who were wavering, such as Gareth Snell who represents Stoke Central and Lisa Nandy in Wigan, have now said they can't support the PM.

May has tried to reach out over the heads of MPs by touring the country this week to drum up support for her plan.

But a survey by Deltapoll shows that a majority of voters disbelieve her main claims.

Asked if the Prime Minister was accurate to say “it was a good deal”, 53% say the claim is false and 30% say it is true.

This list of Tory MPs, originally compiled by Buzzfeed's Alex Wickham, includes those on the Remain and Leave sides of the party.

And it includes those who say they have written a letter of 'no confidence' in the Prime Minister.

Mrs May is running out of time to convince wavering MPs ahead of the meaningful vote on 12 December.

On the Sunday before, she and the leader of the opposition Jeremy Corbyn are set to go head-to-head in a live debate.

But negotiations as to where and how this will happen are currently ongoing.

If her deal fails to clear the Commons - as many predict - there are competing views as to what will happen next.

Labour think she may return to the EU and try and get a better deal.

But the EU Commission chair Jean-Claude Juncker said this was the only deal.

The Prime Minister yesterday insisted the withdrawal agreement was the “best deal” on offer when grilled by senior MPs from the Commons’ Liaison committee.

Mrs May refused to say if she would allow the country to crash out without a deal if her plan was voted down by Parliament despite warnings from the Treasury and Bank of England that would be economically disastrous.

She suggested it would be in the hands of MPs as to what happened next.

“The timetable is such that actually some people would need to take some practical steps in relation to no deal,” she said.

Asked if she had drawn up a Plan B in the event she lost the vote, she replied: “The deal is the deal at this point of time.”

The Prime Minister told the committee that a second referendum would lead to the collapse of any Brexit deal.

“Any second referendum that would be held, if that were the case, would not be able to be held by March 29 next year. You would have to extend Article 50,” she said.

She added: “To extend Article 50, actually you are then in the business of renegotiating the deal.

“What is clear is that any extension to Article 50 - anything like that - reopens the negotiations, reopens the deal. At that point, frankly, the deal can go in any direction.

“We would simply find ourselves in a period of more uncertainty, more division in this country.”

Today the chair of the Brexit committee Hilary Benn revealed he had tabled an amendment to the meaningful vote.

The amendment, which has the backing of five committee chairs, opposes the deal, rejects a no deal Brexit and would enable the House to express its view about what should happen next if the Prime Minister’s deal is defeated.
