The former Downing Street Director of Communications told BBC Politics Live Brexiteers like Sir Bill Cash will have only “a few more days” to save Brexit by backing the Prime Minister’s deal. Ms Perrior argued the power over the Brexit process will be soon taken out of the hands of the Government and out of the hands of Brexiteers now Sir Oliver Letwin will table a series of indicative votes for Parliament to decide on.

She said: “I think the Government will regret where we’ll end up and I think when Bill Cash turns around and says things like ‘we’re in a crisis’ or it’s a ‘constitutional revolution’, well, it will be of his own making.

“Brexiteers have had the opportunity to vote for Theresa May’s deal and they might just regret what they wish for because the opportunity is slipping out of their hands.

“They’ve got a few more days potentially if Theresa May brings this vote back again.

“Otherwise the power will be taken out of the Government’s hand and of their hands too.

“They’re losing Brexit by every day.”

Tory MP Daniel Kawczynski, a member of the European Research Group, said a “trickle” of ERG members supporting the Prime Minister’s deal on Tuesday has become a “flow”.

He said: “I addressed the ERG last night, as did some of my other fellow Tory MPs, and we basically said to them the time has come now to back the Prime Minister’s deal.

“The Prime Minister’s deal turns out to be the least worst option out of all the options which Parliament are now putting forward.

“We were very concerned about aspects of it but frankly it’s a dream compared to a full-blown customs union, another referendum or a single market agreement with the European Union that doesn’t fulfil what our constituents voted for.

“I think when we debated this issue last night, it was six of one and half a dozen of the other when it came to the speakers, both for and against.

“There is definitely a palpable shift. It was a trickle, now it’s a flow.

“We Brexiteers are playing with fire, and we could get very, very burnt if this deal doesn’t get through.”
