Theresa May was today addressing MPs in the Commons, hitting back at calls for a second Brexit referendum.
Labour sources revealed that if Mrs May does not issue a date before Christmas for a vote in the Commons on her Brexit deal, Jeremy Corbyn will call for a vote of no confidence.
The government has previously said that the vote would take place before January 21.
It comes as she faces demands from her Cabinet members to let MPs vote on Brexit alternatives in the Commons.
The indicative votes would be non-binding and give MPs from all parties a say on options such as the "Norway plus" model and a no-deal Brexit and have been backed by loyal ministers including Liam Fox, the trade secretary, and Damian Hinds, the education secretary.

SNL pokes fun at Theresa May in hilarious Brexit sketchEvening StandardUS television show Saturday Night Live has poked fun at Theresa May in a skit mocking her Brexit troubles. Theresa May played by Kate McKinnon starts the comedic sketch by copying the prime minister’s famed dance moves from her speech at the Conservative Party conference earlier this year. She then tells the audience: “What a dreadful week it's been. My Brexit deal is falling apart, I almost got voted out and no one in the world likes me at all."
Michael Fabricant tells Sky:
“In my experience in dealing with European issues, they always leave things until the last minute.
“They won’t reopen the withdrawal agreement.
“I’m not even sure the UK thinks its going to get out of this.
“I think we’ll be a free country, enabling us to do trade deals with the US and Japan.
“The EU needs a deal with us, otherwise you’ll not just have yellow jackets demonstrating, you’ll have farmers demonstrating.
“They need us, just as much as we need them.
“The remainers think they might win, the polls are different, say the remainers win, there would be a big demand for a third referendum. We had the biggest turnout for the vote.”

Boris Johnson warns against a second referendum in Telegraph column
(PA)
He said a second referendum would provoke “instant, deep and ineradicable feelings of betrayal”.
Mr Johnson added that the public would be “utterly infuriated” if Britain were to be put through the “misery and expense” of another referendum.
Business Secretary Greg Clark: Parliament should be “invited to say what it would agree with” if MPs vote down Brexit deal
Parliament should be "invited to say what it would agree with" if MPs vote down the Prime Minister's Brexit deal, Business Secretary Greg Clark has said.
Asked whether he was tempted to give MPs a range of options to vote on, he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "I think, obviously, it's important once the Prime Minister has finished her negotiations with other European leaders and the Commission that Parliament votes on that.
"If that were not to be successful, we do need to have agreement - we can't just have continuing uncertainty and I think Parliament should be invited to say what it would agree with, and that's something that I think businesses up and down the country would expect elected members to take responsibility, rather than just be critics."
Mr Clark also cautioned against a second referendum, saying it would "continue the uncertainty for many more months".

Mrs May is expected to say: "Let us not break faith with the British people by trying to stage another referendum.
Amber Rudd: "We need to find out where the will of parliament is"
Amber Rudd tells Sky News: “We need to get the withdrawal agreement through parliament. That has my full support and I hope that the prime minister will get the changes that some of my colleagues seek.
“We need to find out where the will of parliament is. Nothing should be off the table. We should consider all options.”
