Theresa May seeks EU lifeline after surviving confidence vote
LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister Theresa May is seeking a lifeline from European Union leaders Thursday after winning a no-confidence vote among her own Conservative lawmakers.
May will ask the other 27 EU leaders at a summit in Brussels for reassurances about the deal that she can use to win over a skeptical British Parliament, particularly those within her party who triggered the no-confidence vote in the first place.
Earlier this week, to great uproar in Parliament, May scrapped a planned vote on the deal this week when it became clear she would lose.
