Desperate Theresa May could be just hours away from the end of her time in power as she battles to hold on amid a full-scale Brexit mutiny in the Conservative Party.
The Prime Minister fled London this afternoon to cast a vote in the European election in her Berkshire constituency knowing it could be one of her last actions as Tory leader.
With a resignation announcement seen as almost inevitable after she meets Tory 1922 committee chief Graham Brady tomorrow she could have quit or been forced out before the results - widely tipped to be disastrous for her party - are revealed on Sunday and Monday.
The Prime Minister is trying to maintain dignity as the sun sets on her time in power - She has already bowed to pressure to pull the vote on the Withdrawal Agreement Bill, which she previously said would happen early next month.
The prospect of giving MPs a choice on whether to hold another referendum had sparked a furious response from Tories - with Commons leader Andrea Leadsom dramatically quitting last night and putting the last nail in Mrs May's coffin.
The PM promoted Treasury Mel Stride to fill the gap this afternoon, and met Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt and Sajid Javid to discuss how the Bill might be rewritten.
However, there appears little chance that she will be able to avoid agreeing to the start of a Tory leadership contest, potentially as early as next week.
