May survives - but for how long?
So Theresa May lives to fight another day. In the end, the bid to oust her failed. But the Prime Minister did not emerge unscathed. She won a confidence vote by 200 to 117, but that means more than a third of her own MPs (and well over half of backbenchers) think her time is up. It was a result for Mrs May, but not a victory. As Steven Swinford reveals here, at least three Cabinet ministers have made detailed preparations for leadership bids. What next? We explain all here.
Back to "getting on with the job", Mrs May heads to Brussels today. Her dilemma has not changed: how to convince the EU to tweak the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement so it will be passed by Parliament. She will address EU leaders at the two-day European Council, but as my colleagues in Brussels report, they will only give her 10 minutes of their time. Follow all the latest here.
