Theresa May could hold her third Brexit deal vote TOMORROW, a key ally has claimed after the Tory rebellion showed signs of starting to crack.
Commons Leader Andrea Leadsom said today there is a "real possibility" the twice-defeated pact could be put to MPs on Thursday or Friday.
It comes after leading Brexiteers including Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees-Mogg finally signalled they could back the deal.
However, Ms Leadsom admitted talks were still ongoing. Mr Rees-Mogg has said he will only back it if the Northern Irish DUP do too - and they've said they're not there yet.
Meanwhile Mr Johnson appeared to suggest last night that Theresa May should name a date for her departure to ensure his support.

Friday is Theresa May's last chance to get her deal passed if she wants the EU to grant a short Brexit delay to May 22.
Otherwise No Deal Brexit will happen on April 12 unless she chooses to revoke Article 50 or have a "long extension".
The Prime Minister will address the 1922 Committee of Tory backbenchers tonight, where there is mounting speculation she will speak about her future.

Meanwhile What are indicative votes? 16 options for controlling Brexit and how they'll work for the future of Brexit this evening - but the PM might ignore them.
And neither Labour nor the Tories have announced how or whether they will whip MPs to follow the party line.
Asked if the meaningful vote on the Brexit deal could be brought back this week, Ms Leadsom told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "I think that there is a real possibility that it does.
"We are completely determined to make sure that we can get enough support to bring it back."
She added: "The Prime Minister said she is working hard, as many colleagues are, to persuade colleagues to support it."
Mrs Leadsom refused to be drawn on whether the Prime Minister should commit to standing down once the Withdrawal Agreement is passed in order to win over wavering MPs.
"I am fully supporting the Prime Minister to get us out of the European Union," she said.
Asked if Mrs May should stand down after that, she said: "I think that is a matter for her. I am not expressing a view."
