UK PM reacts after seeing off no confidence vote

(12 Dec 2018) UK Prime Minister Theresa May said her government needed to "get on with the job of delivering Brexit" after she survived a vote of no confidence by lawmakers from her Conservative Party. In secret ballot on Wednesday, 200 lawmakers backed May and 117 voted against her. She said she was "pleased" to have received the support of her colleagues but added she had listened to those who voted against her. The result means May can keep her positions as party leader and prime minister while continuing an uphill battle to win parliamentary approval for her Brexit plan. Her victory means fellow Conservatives cannot challenge her for another year.
