Britain's two biggest parties are "in the grips of extremists" within them, and are "not voting in the interests of the country," Tory MP Anna Soubry has told Today.

Twelve Conservatives rebelled against their party by supporting the Brexit White Paper amendment but the government's total was boosted by the support of four Labour MPs.

Notwithstanding that, the Cabinet were to retire to Chequers within days and there they were to be asked to agree to it. I mention that this was unexpected because we were all working under the assumption that the Brexit Secretary, David Davis, was completing a White Paper – yet, as we discovered, astonishingly, he was not one of those who had been shown this ‘new’ Downing Street White Paper in advance.
