Steve Baker, the deputy chairman of the pro-Brexit Tory European Research Group, and DUP deputy leader Nigel Dodds have said that without concessions from Brussels, defeat in Tuesday’s vote is "inevitable".
It follows an acrimonious Twitter exchange between the EU's chief negotiator Michel Barnier and Brexit Secretary Steve Barclay, with Mr Barclay accusing the European Union of attempting to "rerun old arguments". "An unchanged Withdrawal Agreement will be defeated firmly by a sizeable proportion of Conservatives and the DUP if it is again presented to the Commons," they wrote.
Mrs May has said that if the vote is lost that she will give MPs the chance to vote against leaving the EU with no-deal and to request and extension of the Article 50 withdrawal process, delaying the UK's 29 March departure date.
