Theresa May to face vote of no confidence from Tory MPs
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-46535739
UK Prime Minister Theresa May will face a vote of confidence in her leadership later on Wednesday.
Speaking outside 10 Downing Street, Mrs May said: "I will contest that vote with everything I have got."
She said a new prime minister would have to scrap or extend Article 50, the mechanism taking Britain out of the EU on 29 March, "delaying or even stopping Brexit".
Conservative MPs will vote from 18:00 GMT to 20:00 GMT.
A result is expected an hour or so later.
She said she was making progress in her talks with EU leaders and vowed to "deliver on the referendum vote and seize the opportunities that lie ahead".
The Conservatives had to build a "country that works for everyone" and deliver "the Brexit people voted for", she said.
"I have devoted myself unsparingly to these tasks ever since I became prime minister and I stand ready to finish the job."
The challenge to Mrs May's position comes after the required 48 letters calling for a contest were delivered.
so it's all about the GE after all, fucking knew it, 2 faces bastards
One of those who submitted a letter, former minister Owen Paterson, said: "She is sadly determined to stick to her deal which is not going to get through the House of Commons, and worse, if it did get through the House of Commons, she would lose the support of the DUP, which triggers a general election."
so they are stopping Brexit if they win,
can't fucking let that happen,

Juncker 'intensifying talks' with EU leaders
Reuters
President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker is "intensifying talks" with EU leaders after meeting Theresa May on Tuesday, according to Reuters.
"Prime Minister May came to explain the situation in the United Kingdom and laid out the concerns as raised by the House of Commons, which she told us [she] would like to address in co-ordination with her fellow EU leaders and institutions," a spokeswoman tells the news agency.
"President Juncker listened to those concerns attentively."
She says he has also spoken to German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte.
@RuthDavidsonMSP
The Prime Minister has cojones of steel and is putting in a punishing degree of effort to deliver for our country. She has my full support.
Liberal Democrat leader Sir Vince Cable tells the BBC it's "extraordinary" that the Conservatives are putting internal disputes ahead of "the interests of the country".
"I suspect in the end she's going to win. If she does, we are back where we were yesterday, with an unpalatable, unacceptable Brexit deal."
He says the "options are narrowing" but he believes the leader of the opposition has "a duty to come forward with a no confidence motion" in the government.
"There is growing momentum for going back to the country to resolve this issue."
Juncker "I fucking love you man. no no you listen to me. Fuck. I fucking love you man. You're like my hero my brother fuck man. No Shut the fuck up. Listen. You fuck [at][at][at][at] I'll cut you fucker if you don't listern. No no. I love you fuck you fucker".
Something like that?
