LETTERS
So where are we on letters? Of the 48 needed to trigger a vote of no confidence, 25 have gone public so far.. Senior Brexiteers tell The Times they have "firm pledges" from 50+ MPs to submit letters by this evening, with a vote triggered within two days.
The Sun says they are stuck on 42. A senior Brexiteer tells Sky News they are on 46. Crispin Blunt tells The Guardian he "would expect" the target to be hit today.
One backbencher told the "Graham better have a letter-opener with him when he returns to his desk in London." The Daily Mail says the "coup is faltering".
Simon Clarke, who put in a letter then took it out in July to avoid "civil war" before putting it back in again, insisted history would be made today, telling the Today programme that "this day must be the point at which action must be taken".
Marcus Fysh and David Jones, named publicly as two of the 25, are now refusing to confirm. Spooked by constituent reaction?
Anne Marie Morris told BBC Breakfast there was "no question" that the
48 letters would be reached this week.
