Conservative Party vice chairs Ben Bradley and Maria Caulfield have just resigned - joining the growing list of Tory MPs rebelling over Theresa May's plans for Brexit.

In a letter to the Prime Minister on Tuesday, Caulfield warned that the results of the Brexit proposal agreed by the Cabinet on Friday would be "Prime Minister Corbyn."

Bradley echoed these remarks: "If we do not deliver Brexit in spirit as well as in name, then we are handing Jeremy Corbyn the keys to Number 10."

A slew of Conservative ministers have resigned since Friday, imperiling Theresa May's premiership, including former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson. In his resignation letter, Johnson said that Britain is "truly headed for the status of [EU] colony."
