Prime Minister and Maidenhead MP Theresa May survived a vote of no confidence tabled against her a day after her Brexit deal was comprehensively defeated in the House of Commons.

After seeing off the bid to remove her party from government by 325 votes to 306, Mrs May is now calling for a cross party consensus to find a way to break the Brexit deadlock.

She met with leaders from across the house, including the Lib Dems, SNP and Plaid Cymru, with the only exemption being Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn who has said he will not meet with the Maidenhead MP until she rules out the threat of a no-deal Brexit.

In Tuesday’s vote on the Prime Minister’s Brexit deal, one of the Conservative MPs who rebelled was Windsor MP Adam Afriyie. He did, however, offer his full support in the Prime Minister ahead of the next stage of Brexit talks:

“I voted against the Withdrawal Agreement and in favour of Brexit, because the current draft would have locked us into the EU without a key and broken up the UK by treating Northern Ireland differently.

“Naturally Theresa May enjoyed my full support in the confidence vote because she is the best person to manage our exit from the EU, either with a deal or a managed transition to the existing WTO.”

Slough MP for Labour Tan Dhesi also voted down Mrs May’s Brexit deal and said the Prime Minister had failed to consider other parties’ perspectives. In a speech to Parliament, Mr Dhesi said:

“Like the vast majority of MPs, I voted against the Prime Minister’s half baked, botched Brexit deal. For more than 2 years of negotiations, Theresa May has ignored opposition parties’ perspectives and that is why we as a nation are in a complete mess.”
