Ms Dorries added: „MPs will think to themselves, ‚If I vote to keep the prime minister in place she‘s going to be there for the next 12 months when anything could happen, is that what I want?‘ And I think most MPs will vote ‚no‘.“

She defended her description of the Brexit deal as leaving the UK as „slaves“ to the EU.

„I would call us a vassal state, an empty state, I‘d call it serfdom, it‘s appalling,“ Ms Dorries said.
