British PM May wins party confidence vote: official

British Prime Minister Theresa May on Wednesday survived a bid by her own MPs to unseat her, winning a confidence motion by 200 to 117 votes.The vote was triggered by hardline Brexit supporters in her Conservative party who despise the deal she struck with the EU last month."The result of the ballot held this evening is that the parliamentary party does have confidence in Theresa May as leader," said Graham Brady, who chairs the committee of backbench MPs that oversaw the vote.
