London British Prime Minister Theresa May’s government saw off a vote of no confidence in parliament on Wednesday, called after MPs overwhelmingly rejected the Brexit deal. Main opposition Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn called the vote after Tuesday’s crushing defeat for May — but her Conservative MPs rallied behind her and the government won by 325 to 306, heading off the threat of a general election. “This house has put its confidence in this government,” May told MPs immediately after the vote.
