David Davis, who resigned last week as Brexit Secretary in protest at her negotiating stance, challenged her to publish Whitehall work on a potential free trade deal based on those already secured by the EU.

Steve Baker, who also quit as a Brexit minister, urged her to step up preparations for a “no deal” scenario.
