BREXIT could be diluted by Tory MPs after a secret plot with Labour to force damaging parliamentary defeats on their own government.

Conservative politicians are said to be willing to work with Labour backbenchers to force the government into alterations to the Brexit plan.

Influential Tory MPs told The Sunday Telegraph they will try to stop Theresa May proposing “no deal is better than a bad deal”.

The MPs are hoping they can swerve the focus from controlling EU migration and instead make protecting business as a priority.

One MP said: “We don’t want the immigration tail wagging the Brexit dog.”

Another former tory minister said: “The numbers are there… There is so much legislation that will have to go through, they will have to key everyone solid.”

The same group of rebel MPs are plotting to pursue “transition” periods for phasing in Brexit changes – for as long as seven years.

Cabinet ministers, including Philip Hammond, have already called for a softer Brexit after the result of the General Election which saw the Tory party fail to increase the majority under Theresa May.

But, it is hoped a secret understanding with Labour will allow some MPs to pursue an anti-Brexit agenda.

Tory pro-EU rebels said the plan was to use Opposition Day debates and backbench motions proposed by Labour to trigger votes on crucial Brexit topics.

Backbenchers have already been applying pressure on Mrs May, it has been claimed.
