Theresa May must "believe in Britain" and "chuck Chequers", Jacob Rees-Mogg and more than 60 Tory Eurosceptics have said in a letter to grassroots Conservatives.

Earlier this month the Prime Minister wrote a letter to all members of the Conservative Party defending her plan, saying that it "honours" the result of the referendum.

Mr Rees-Mogg has now written a letter which is being sent to Conservative Associations across the country with a point-by-point rebuttal of Mrs May's Chequers compromise, describing it as the "wrong deal for Britain".

It states that the UK "does not need to do a deal with the EU" but the EU "needs to do a deal with us at all costs".

It comes as Dominic Raab, the Brexit Secretary, publishes around 20 technical papers setting out plans for a no deal on areas including customs, health and farming.
