  Theresa May is facing a grassroots rebellion over her Brexit deal as 29 Conservative Association chairmen warn her they are “appalled” that the party has used funds to distribute PR leaflets backing the withdrawal agreement. Senior Tory activists have written to Conservative Party headquarters warning that the decision to instruct local associations to distribute “promotional literature” to the public constituted a “misuse” of funds.
  
  The chairmen claim that in the face of widespread opposition to the deal from the Tory grassroots, the decision is “questionable at best” and that funds should not “be used on divisive issues where the majority of members strongly object to a flawed agenda.” Branding Mrs May’s election-style campaign “propaganda”, they have demanded that the distribution of the leaflets is “stopped with immediate effect and that there will be no future repetition”. It comes after Conservative activists across the country on Tuesday refused to distribute party leaflets aimed at encouraging voters to write to their MPs to encourage them to back the deal.
