The hidden messages to Rees-Mogg, Boris and Hunt in May's speech REVEALED
BRITAIN risks having "no Brexit at all" if warring factions fail to unite, Theresa May warned the Conservative Party conference and the PM used her party conference speech to deliver messages to her main critics.
Theresa May on People's Vote: The people voted to LEAVE
Mrs May's remarks appeared to be a thinly-veiled broadside aimed at Jacob Rees-Mogg and former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, who have been heavily critical of the prime minister's Chequers' blueprint on leaving the EU.
In her keynote conference speech in Birmingham, the prime minister also vowed to the Tory Party faithful there would be no second referendum on Britain leaving the EU.
A buoyant and smiling prime minister danced onstage to Abba's Dancing Queen prior to her speech.
And in a further sign of her confidence, she fired a warning shot at Mr Johnson, who addressed a capacity 1,500-strong crowd of cheering supporters in Birmingham on Tuesday.
Mrs May said: "Those of us who do respect the result need to come together now if we don’t - if we all go off in different directions in pursuit of our vision of the perfect Brexit we risk having no Brexit at all."
The prime minister went on to defend her Chequers' blueprint, which lead to Mr Johnson's resignation and the departure of former Brexit Secretary David Davis from Cabinet.
During his crowd-pleasing appearance on Tuesday, Mr Johnson was cheered loudly when he pledged to "chuck Chequers".
Mr Johnson told his audience: "If we get it wrong, if we bottle Brexit now, believe me, the people of this country will find it hard to forgive.
"Do not believe that we can somehow get it wrong now, bodge it now and fix it later.
"This is the moment to chuck Chequers.”

Mrs May also savaged those who back a People's Vote for a second referendum on Brexit.
She said: "They’re not acting in the national interest but their own political interest.
"There are plenty of prominent people in politics both in Parliament and out of it who want to stop Brexit in its tracks.
"Their latest plan is to hold a second referendum. they call it a people’s vote. but we had a people’s vote and the people chose to leave.
"A second referendum would be a potliicans vote. politicians telling people they got it wrong the first time so need to do it again."
A defiant Mrs May threw down the gauntlet to Mr Johnson, calling on the party to unite as Brexit negotiations enter their crucial final stages.
Mrs May added: "And there’s another reason why we need to come together. We are entering the toughest phase of the negotiations.
“You saw in Salzburg that I am standing up for Britain. What we are proposing is very challenging for the EU.
“But if we stick together and hold our nerve I know we can get a deal that delivers for Britain.”
Even Jeremy Hunt didn't escape over his EU-USSR comparison, reminding the conference on Germany Unity Day that the people of East Germany tore dow the wall because the "many not the few chose freedom."
