The Prime Minister, Theresa May, has been given ten days to save her Brexit deal or lose a whole tranche of ministers.
And those ministers are then reported to be ready to vote for the Cooper/Boles amendment on what is being seen as the Brexit crunch date of the 27th February that would attempt to force the government to go to Brussels to request an Article 50 extension.
But this would take a government loss that would lead to ground-breaking backbench initiated legislation being forced through Westminster into an act of parliament against the wishes of the government of the day.
This was attempted last month and was defeated by 27 votes, so they may feel a bit more confident now that, with Brexit day fast approaching, more MPs are getting unnecessarily jittery over a no deal Brexit.
But to get this proposed amendment through to be effective would probably require the Speaker, John Bercow, to once again put this amendment through to be voted on. It was controversial enough last time and generated a whole flood of points of order in the house.
Then there is the fact that it has already been voted down, so what is the justification of re-presenting such a tendentious amendment?
