London (CNN)Theresa May will stagger on as Britain’s Prime Minister after her government survived a vote of no confidence called in the wake of Tuesday’s devastating parliamentary defeat for her Brexit deal.
Lawmakers voted Wednesday by 325 to 306 in favor of her government remaining in power. If May had lost the confidence vote, a general election would have followed unless her government (or an alternative one) was able to win back the confidence of the House of Commons within 14 days.
May is expected to make a statement outside 10 Downing Street at 10 p.m. (5 p.m. ET).
