May on Wednesday chaired a meeting of her Cabinet, expected to last three hours, but instead going on for just over five hours.
According to political commentators the lengthy meeting was a measure of the different opinions within her ranks of ministers about the agreement May has produced detailing Britain's future relationship with the EU.
The dawning of a new day could also reveal whether any of her ministers are following in the footsteps of former foreign secretary Boris Johnson and Brexit secretary David Davis. They both quit days after May first published her Brexit proposals in July.
The Daily Telegraph reported Wednesday that two senior ministers were considering resigning.
Wednesday turned out to be a day of high drama, as May emerged on the steps of Number 10 to issue a statement. Chanting and shouts from the public could be heard coming from the end of highly barricaded Downing Street.
Saying it was her deal, no deal or no Brexit, May delivered her long awaited decision in what was described as a make-or-break day for the UK-EU negotiations.
May declared: "I firmly believe that the draft withdrawal agreement was the best that could be negotiated and I needed Cabinet to decide whether to move on in the talks. The choices before us were difficult, particularly in relation to the Northern Ireland decision. But the decision in cabinet was that the Government should agree with the withdrawal agreement and the outline political declaration."
