Theresa May vows to fight back as British Parliament triggers Vote of No Confidence

A vote of no confidence in the British Prime Minister Theresa May has been triggered by members of the parliament.

But a defiant Mrs May vowed to contest the vote “with everything I have got”.

She warned that a new prime minister would be faced with the choice of “delaying or even stopping Brexit”.

A majority of Tory MPs have publicly said they will back the PM in the vote, which runs for two hours from 18:00 GMT, but it is a secret ballot.

According to Guardian, Conservatives MPs triggered the vote, with a ballot expected to hold between 6 PM and 8 PM on Wednesday.

May will need the support of at least 158 MPs from the Conservative Party if she will stay on as Prime Minister, although she could decide not to resign if the figure is below that but significant enough.
