Ben Bradley has been announced as the latest Conservative MP to submit a letter of no confidence in Theresa May.

Bookmaker William Hill has suspended betting on the year that Prime Minister Theresa May will leave office.

Their announcement comes amid speculation that she will face a confidence vote.

William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams said "after the press conference on Thursday night, we thought Theresa had probably saved her job, but that is perhaps no longer the case".

The move follows reports that May will face a no confidence vote next week with Conservative lawmakers expected to submit the 48 letters required to trigger a leadership contest.

Theresa May should expect a leadership contest, Conservative MP Gillian Keegan has said.

But the MP, who backs the prime minister's draft Brexit deal, said she believed Mrs May would win any vote of no confidence.

She told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme: “Once that’s done, it’s done...Get that threat, this continual harping from the sidelines out of the way."

Former Cabinet minister John Whittingdale has confirmed he submitted a letter to the 1922 Committee of backbench MPs calling for a confidence vote.

In his letter, he says "I believe that the agreement that is being proposed does not deliver Brexit in the way that I and many others want to see.

"It leaves us locked in indefinitely into the customs union. I also don't think it can get through the House of Commons.

"I want the government to pursue a proper free trade agreement which does deliver the Brexit objectives but which keeps us as close to Europe as possible.

"I believe that is on offer from the European Union but it is clear that the prime minister is unwilling to move from her existing position.

"Therefore I felt there is no alternative but to seek a vote of confidence."

It is not possible for the UK to get a better deal with EU, according to former attorney general Dominic Grieve.

Speaking on the BBC Victoria Derbyshire programme the remain-supporting MP said the only option was to hold a so-called "People's Vote" on the final deal.

He told the programme: “The prime minister has gone away and done her very best to produce a deal that takes us out of the EU on terms that don’t damage our economy.

“The difficulty is that it was inherent in this negotiation that we were going to end up with a deal that was significantly less good on any rational analysis than staying in the EU.”

When asked if 48 letters of no confidence had been received by the 1922 Committee as he left his Westminster home on Friday morning, Jacob Rees-Mogg said "we'll see" and raised his eyebrows.

Former Labour prime minister Tony Blair has written in the Daily Telegraph, external to call for another referendum, which he says is "the only way out of the Brexit impasse".

He calls Theresa May's Brexit withdrawal agreement a "bad deal" that is "a million miles away from what people were promised from Brexit".

"The Theresa May deal should not pass Parliment," he writes.

"A deal which Members of Parliament would never in a thousand years vote for if they were voting purely on its merits."

BBC Radio 5 Live’s Your Call is asking people how happy they’re feeling – with a score out of 10.

Tricia in Walkden voted Leave, she’s currently a 1/10: “I am unhappy about it all, she promised us a deal… if you’d have asked me two weeks ago, I was still behind May, I was still saying she’ll come up with something, she won’t sell us down the river, and I just think she has…If we take this deal now, we’re going to be stuck in the EU forever. She needs to go, and I think the whole process needs to be started again.”

Chris in Warrington voted Remain – he’s also a 1/10: “I feel like the prime minister has an absolutely impossible job…. I think a second referendum is essential. I think the big issue is the young people – those who are going to have to carry the consequences of this forward… We need to stop this process, we need to suspend it and review it because nobody can deliver what was promised by the Leave side.”

Patrick in Leeds voted Leave: “I’m about a 5/10…I do believe she has tried her best. I will not be happy even if there’s one strand of control left for the EU… I’m still prepared to sit it out and wait, and I think I’m not the only one.”

The Ulster Farmers Union (UFU), an organisation representing the interests of 11,500 family farms in Northern Ireland, has called on the DUP to support the proposed Brexit deal.

The influential UFU has said a no-deal would be "absolutely disastrous" for the agri-food and farming industry in the region.

The DUP, which has vowed to vote against the agreed text, traditionally draws significant support from the farming community.

The move by the UFU comes as key business groups in Northern Ireland have also voiced support for Theresa May's Brexit deal.

Michael Gove is not resigning because he thinks that even at this very late hour, he is the person who can make Theresa May change course with Brexit.

This is a huge relief for Theresa May, who meanwhile has been carrying on with business as usual by trying to sell her deal.

The prime minister has made it absolutely clear that she is going nowhere.

Senior placed Tory MPs are saying they have reached the magic 48 letters needed for a vote of confidence against Theresa May, but Sir Graham Brady - who is in charge of backbench MPs in Parliament - is giving precious little away.

A Conservative party leadership challenge is most definitely looming, if not this morning or this afternoon, by the weekend.

Michael Gove is a bit of a man of mystery, but if he doesn't take the Brexit Secretary role, it begs the question of who would take that job.

Anne-Marie Trevelyan, who stepped down from her role as a parliamentary private secretary in the department of education yesterday, has said she "isn't ruling out sending a letter" of no confidence against Theresa May.

Assistant political editor

The BBC's assistant political editor Norman Smith says he expects the prime minister to appoint a new Brexit Secretary by this weekend.

"One of the most interesting comments has been from Ken Clarke, Father of the House, who said that May may be doomed to carry on," he says.

"The House is completely and utterly divided, but in a funny sort of way this might be good for Theresa May as she can plan one step at a time.

"It's not clear anybody else has a plan."
