Tin-eared Theresa May today refused furious Tory calls to quit over Brexit .
The Prime Minister faced down demands to leave her job whether or not she secures a Brexit deal.
Tory activists and MPs are demanding their leader quits before the summer break and leave Brexit to someone else.
But a Downing Street source said she was standing by her “generous and bold offer” to only go if there’s a deal.
The senior figure told journalists: “She has been clear that she will stay to the completion of Phase One.”
Phase One refers to signing a Brexit Withdrawal Agreement.
Phase Two is the UK’s “future relationship” with Brussels, which is meant to be finished by the end of 2020 but could take several years.
The No10 source told journalists: “The Prime Minister made a very generous and bold offer to the 1922 Committee [of MPs] a few weeks ago that she would see through Phase One of the Brexit process.
“And she would leave and open it up for new leadership in Phase Two.
“That is the timetable she’s working towards. She wants to get Brexit done.”
