THERESA May faces a fresh outcry after claims she told Ministers she couldn’t alter her Brexit plan – as she’d “cleared it” with Angela Merkel.

Reports claim stunned Cabinet Ministers were given the extraordinary excuse at the crunch Chequers summit last Friday.

Asked about a possible change to the Brexit blueprint, the PM was said to have told them: “No, that’s not possible.

“Because I’ve already cleared [the existing text] with Mrs Merkel.”

A No.10 source last night vehemently denied the claims – in the Spectator - which came on the eve of the publication of the PM’s Brexit ‘White Paper’ on Thursday.

Last week furious allies of ex-Brexit Secretary David Davis accused the PM of briefing the German Chancellor about her soft Brexit proposals in Berlin – before the papers were circulated to the Cabinet.

The allegations will fuel growing fury among Eurosceptics at the PM for proposing to tie Brexit Britain to EU rules for goods after Brexit.

Writing for The Sun today Mrs May insists her plan is the only workable way to deliver Brexit. She says it meets the wishes of Sun readers who wanted the Government to draw a “red line” to end free movement.

“For the first time in decades we will have control of our borders,” the PM writes. She also insists Britain WILL be able to strike trade deals with countries “queuing up to make trade deals with us”.

Urging rebel MPs to back her, she says the only alternatives are a Norway-style deal or Labour “opening the door to a second referendum”.

She adds: “Only our Brexit deal for Britain truly respects the will of the British people. It is the Brexit this country demanded. And, as Prime Minister, it is the Brexit I am determined to deliver.”
