Brexit backing MPs call on May to appoint 'no deal' minister amid EU squabble

Theresa May and fellow Conservatives are under fire
to make compromises in EU negotiations to secure a
Brexit deal.
Brussels officials have said that they have little faith in
Mrs May’s ability to secure a final deal.
Now Brexiteer ministers are believed to be pushing for
a 'no deal' minister to be assigned to plot the nation's
course if the EU refuse to play ball.
One pro-Brexit minister warned that too many
concessions could see “the bottom fall out of the
bucket and the Government risking collapse.”
