REBEL Tories calling for Theresa May’s head must quit their sniping and let her crack on with making Brexit a success.

She’s rightly copped flak since the election — but it’d be crazy to dump her as she negotiates our EU exit.

Tories must put our national interest first and forget their ambitions until the talks are over.

Rebels, such as ex-Minister Andrew Mitchell who said she’s “dead in the water”, should remember what’s at stake.

A coronation to replace her won’t happen and the leadership battle WILL be a bloodbath.

It’ll put Brexit talks on hold and make us a laughing stock in Brussels.

The rebels will probably force a General Election, too, where an irritable electorate will give them a kicking.

You’d think Jeremy Corbyn becoming Britain’s first Marxist PM would be enough for them to pipe down.

Imagine him in Brussels trying to get us a decent deal . . .

But it isn’t just ambitious Tories who threaten Brexit.

Cross-party Remainers are joining forces this week to derail a Repeal Bill severing ties with Brussels.

They should remember: politicians are elected to enact the will of the people, not deny it.

Such a principle is lost on wannabe Lib Dem leader Sir Vince Cable who claims Brexit won’t happen.

Even our chancellor Philip Hammond plainly wants to stay in the customs union.

Forging trade deals with large economies outside the EU is crucial to our prosperity.

Donald Trump’s promise of a deal was a stark reminder of how much we’ve got to gain.

It’s in our national interest to make sure Mrs May is allowed to get on with it.

Politicians on all sides must allow her to do so.

Right balance

WE welcome the Taylor Review’s plan to keep zero hours contracts.

It may be the case some workers are exploited but the majority like the flexibility.

Class warriors like Jeremy Corbyn who want them banned have a cartoon view of things where workers are stamped on by greedy capitalists.

That’s not the reality.

All banning them will do is harm small businesses who can’t afford full-time staff.

The review strikes a decent balance by enhancing workers rights — without damaging business.
