Theresa May has hinted she might be willing to quit as PM, but only if MPs back her Brexit deal first, according to reports.
Mrs May has allegedly opened a dialogue with hard Brexiteers, offering to call time on her leadership once MPs have voted her twice defeated deal through Parliament.
The Prime Minister has been unable to break the deadlock with the European Reform Group (ERG), and DUP still refusing to back her deal.
A Brexiteer told The Sun: "It is a three-way Mexican stand-off - there is a way through if everyone jumps at the same time - the PM, ERG and DUP."
But the chances of MPs backing her deal are low, with No10 refusing to name a day this week for its third appearance in Parliament - because it is still likely to head to a heavy defeat.

No10 has denied that Theresa May has any plans to step down in order to get her deal through Parliament.
It comes after reports that Tories preparing for a general election, with Theresa May's cabinet "wargaming" how they might use one to bounce Parliament and the EU out of an extension to Brexit.
Ministers used Monday's emergency Cabinet to debate if, when and how they would call an election if Brexit was forced into a long delay, according to reports.
It came after Brexit Secretary Steve Barclay said that Britain could be headed for a general election if Brexit could break through the Parliamentary deadlock.

According to reports in The Times Home Secretary Sajid Javid and Leader of the House Andrea Leadsom said a long extension to Brexit or a softer Brexit would make an election inevitable.
The Daily Mail claimed Liam Fox, Andrea Leadsom and Alan Cairns also warned that an election was increasingly likely.
One source told the Mail: 'We'll either lose a confidence vote – in which case you could even get Corbyn without an election – or we will be forced to go for an election ourselves.'
