In another warning to May's government, the former Brexit Secretary David Davis warned her that the electoral consequences for the Conservative party could be dire if the final deal did not respect the decision to leave the EU.
In a letter to Conservative MPs, Davis said: "If we stay on our current trajectory, we will go into the next election with the government having delivered none of the benefits of Brexit, with the country having been reduced to a rule-taker from Brussels."
Advocating a so-called Canada-style trade deal between Britain and the EU, Davis said: "No 10's stated position that there is only a binary choice between her Chequers plan and no deal is not correct. A third way does exist."
Davis quit his top ministerial job in July saying he could not support May's Brexit blueprint, agreed at a behind-closed-doors meetings at Chequers, the prime minister's country retreat.
Former foreign secretary Boris Johnson, who quit alongside Davis over May's Brexit blueprint, has already issued a "chuck Chequers" plea to the government, claiming it would mean Britain remaining as a vassal state of the EU.
