Three former Tory Cabinet members, Sir Oliver Letwin, Dame Caroline Spelman and Dominic Grieve have all recently agreed to meet Mr Corbyn to discuss plans which could see him take power for an interim period. The reported plot would, therefore, allow Mr Corbyn to delay Brexit and campaign for a second Brexit referendum. However, in a bid to defend the original referendum, the Brexit Party has released a statement insisting that it has candidates ready to challenge for the seats of the Tory rebels.

Brexit Party Chairman, Richard Tice said: “These four Tory rebels contemplating installing Labour’s dangerous leader in No 110 to block the will of the British people should think twice.

“So should anyone else thinking the same.

“The Brexit Party has named hundreds of candidates across the nation and has first-rate people ready to unseat all these anti-democrats.

“We will not let them get away with it.”

Despite the accusations against Mr Grieve, the Tory MP has stated that he is “not about to facilitate Jeremy Corbyn’s arrival in No 10”.

Dame Spelman also made it clear that she would not go against Boris Johnson in a no confidence vote.

Former, Cabinet minister, David Gauke has been involved in a separate plot to block a no deal Brexit.

Mr Gauke, Philip Hammond and Rory Stewart are among a group of 20 Tory rebels who will meet next week in order to discuss how to block a no deal Brexit.

One source told The Daily Telegraph, that the group knows “they’ve only got a limited time frame so they’ve got to act quickly”.

Despite that, Mr Gauke did state: “If anyone thinks the answer is Jeremy Corbyn, I think they’re probably asking the wrong question.”

The Remainer plot to sabotage Brexit comes as another pack of Tory MPs sent a letter to the Prime Minister warning against his demand to Brussels to scrap the Irish backstop.

They claimed that Mr Johnson’s desire to remove the backstop had “set the bar so high that there is no realistic probability of a deal being done”.
