Theresa May survives leadership challenge over Brexit

Parliament voted 325 to 306 against a motion of no-confidence in Prime Minister Theresa May, a day after it rejected her plan to withdraw from the E.U.

Many lawmakers from her own party, who just a day earlier opposed her plan, leapt to her defense and voted to support her government, demonstrating the complex politics around Brexit and Mrs. May’s almost surreal durability.

What’s next? She has to present a Plan B for Brexit. She promised to consult with Parliament and somehow craft a deal that could get approved. But E.U. officials have already said they’re unwilling to reopen negotiations, leaving Mrs. May with little new to offer. There is growing speculation she could ask to postpone Britain’s divorce from the bloc.
