Boris Johnson has faced a backlash from Tory colleagues after his "disgusting" criticism of Theresa May's Brexit blueprint sparked an explosive public row.
Senior Conservatives denounced the former foreign secretary for comparing the prime minister's Chequers plan to having "wrapped a suicide vest" around Britain and handed the detonator to Brussels.
It also comes as a former Brexit minister warned Ms May that she has until the Conservatives’ annual conference later this month to drop her Chequers plan or face a “catastrophic split” in the party.
Elsewhere, Jeremy Corbyn faced an angry meeting of his parliamentary party, where the Labour leader was expected to endure recriminations over the party's antisemitism row.

Unions have voted to keep the option of a public vote on the final Brexit deal on the table, but stopped short of calling directly for a second referendum.
Delegates at the TUC voted for a motion that would allow for a say on any deal which affects pay and employment rights.
Union leaders also stepped up calls for an early general election amid warnings that the government is heading for a "cliff edge Brexit" which would damage workers' pay and jobs.
The conference in Manchester heard a defeated Brexit deal would be tantamount to a confidence vote, triggering an immediate election.
Labour MPs who criticise Jeremy Corbyn should leave the party and "go and do something", Len McCluskey has said.
The staunch Corbyn ally and head of Britain's biggest trade union, Unite, told The Independent that critics of the Labour leader "have no part to play" and should "go elsewhere".
More here from my colleague Ben Kentish, who is at the TUC conference in Manchester:
Jeremy Corbyn could be the most high-profile victim of the new boundary reforms, which could see his Islington North seat scrapped.
Ex-foreign secretary Boris Johnson faces a challenge to his 5,034 majority in Uxbridge & Ruislip South, with the seat losing Tory-leaning Yiewsley and gaining Labour-leaning Northolt.
Former Brexit Secretary David Davis' Haltemprice & Howden seat is set to be axed.
Home Secretary Sajid Javid's Bromsgrove seat is still due to be replace by a new Bromsgrove & Droitwich seat but the move is unlikely to make any significant electoral impact.
Labour deputy leader Tom Watson's West Bromwich East seat will be affected by the shake-up in Birmingham constituencies, with the creation of a new West Bromwich seat.
Theresa May has shelved a Commons showdown over controversial plans to axe 50 MPs until next year, after a Tory backbench revolt.
Up to ten Conservative MPs are thought to be ready to rebel over Boundary Commission proposals to cut number of parliamentary seats from 650 to 600 – enough to defeat the prime minister.
The controversy also threatens to fuel the anger of pro-Brexit MPs, with several – including Boris Johnson and David Davis – likely to have their seats put at risk.

More people think Theresa May would make a better prime minister than Boris Johnson, according to an exclusive new poll.
The survey for The Independent by BMG Research shows the public see Ms May as more hardworking than her rival, who at the weekend renewed his backbench critique of her Brexit strategy by claiming it had put Britain in a “suicide vest”.
Asked directly about how good a PM they think Mr Johnson would make, almost half of those questioned said either ‘bad’ or ‘very bad’, according to the poll.

The Labour veteran told The International Congress of Parliamentary Women's Caucuses that when she was first elected in 1982, the Commons was 97% male.
She said: "In my party, we regard ourselves as the party for women, yet in 100 years we have never had a woman leader, it appears only men are able to rule the Labour Party.
"Next time, we have to have a woman.
"Don't get me wrong, we have many brilliant men, and I encourage their ambition, I tell them: 'You are an asset, I want to encourage you to aspire because one day, you could be deputy leader'."
Ms Harman, who is Mother of the House, the longest serving female MP, said: "When I was first an MP, I was subjected to death threats, I didn't publicise this, as I was worried my constituents would think I was too preoccupied and scared to represent their views in parliament.
"I now think that was a mistake, because its not about proving we're tough, attacks on women MPs are not just misogyny, they're anti-democratic, if a woman is elected, she is entitled to get on with her job.
"Our dear friend Jo Cox, was murdered for doing her work as an MP. We have to take threats seriously, it's not us being weak but voicing that this is a problem.
"There are many countries in world where there is a reemergence of misogyny, and don't expect to be popular as a woman in public life.
"You will be described as loud and aggressive when you are just doing your job.
"I mostly believe, if you're not having a row you are not doing anything, if you're popular, step up your act a bit."
“I understand the argument for a so-called ‘people’s vote’ on the deal, on the deal – not on leaving the EU. That people’s vote has already happened.
“And I accept that option must be left on the table, if for no other reason than as a safety net if Tory MPs become spineless and don’t have the courage of their own convictions to oppose what the Prime Minister brings back.
“But let’s focus on the prize – sweeping this government away in a general election and giving a Labour government under Jeremy Corbyn the chance to repair two wasted years of Tory wrangling."
The Independent has launched its #FinalSay campaign to demand that voters are given a voice on the final Brexit deal.
