Theresa May is said to be facing intense pressure to call a spring General Election in an attempt to quash opposition to a no-deal Brexit.
Senior ministers are attempting to force the PM to call for a vote on April 4 so that Tory rebels trying to thwart Brexit can be stopped, according to the Daily Mail.
Over a dozen Remainer Conservative MPs have said they will back a no-confidence vote to force the election if no deal was looking likely.
Despite Mr Corbyn’s desire for a General Election, Labour remain behind the Tories in recent opinion polls.
A poll of polls for 2018 also put Labour on 38% – just 1% behind the Tories, while Mrs May outscores Mr Corbyn on who would make the best PM.
But Brexit supporters in the party are said to be urging Mrs May to decide to have the vote in early April, ensuring that Britain leaves the EU by the March 29 deadline when no MPs will be sitting.
A Cabinet minister who supports the plan told MailOnline that attempting to thwart a no deal Brexit would destroy the last bit of faith in politics.
The minister said Remain ministers should simply quit if they don’t like no-deal, adding: The Brexiteers who didn’t agree with the policy quit. They should do the same.
