Senior government ministers have reportedly threatened to quit the cabinet if Theresa May heads for a no-deal Brexit .
Mrs May faces the risk of resignations from senior ministers on both sides of the Brexit divide, depending on what decisions she makes next week.
At least six pro-EU members of her cabinet will resign if she pushes forward with a no-deal Brexit, while Brexiteers would resign if she either backed a customs union with the EU sought to delay Brexit further.
The Sunday Times reported that the Prime Minister will be warned "that her government faces total collapse" unless she passes her Brexit deal.
The news comes after another chaotic week in parliament, as MPs dealt a third defeat to Theresa May's deal just hours before Brexit was supposed to happen on Friday.

The desperate Prime Minister only put forward half her twice defeated Brexit deal, and even promised to quit if it passed, in a desperate last pitch to MPs.
But her gambit was not enough as MPs voted against the 585-page Withdrawal Agreement for the third time by 344 votes to 286, majority 58. They included 34 Tory rebels who refused to budge.

The defeat meant the UK missed Brussels' deadline to pass the deal by 11pm on Friday night - which would have guaranteed Brexit from May 22.
Now Mrs May will have to choose between cancelling Brexit, leaving without a deal or a "long delay" on April 12.
