UK: ‘I will contest that vote with everything I've got' - May on no confidence vote

British Prime Minister Theresa May announced that 48 Conservative Party MPs sent out letters calling for a no confidence vote in her leadership, and vowed that she would contest the "with everything" she has. May was speaking from London on Wednesday.
"Sir Graham Brady has confirmed that he has received 48 letters from Conservative MPs, so there will now be a vote of confidence in my leadership of the Conservative Party. I will contest that vote with everything I've got," said the PM.
May cautioned that a new leader wouldn't be in place quickly enough, and that "a leadership election risks handing control of the Brexit negotiations to opposition MPs in parliament."
The Prime Minister added that a "new leader wouldn't have time to renegotiate a Withdrawal Agreement and get the legislation through parliament by the 29th of March, so one of their first acts would have to be extending or rescinding Article 50 - delaying or even stopping Brexit, when people want us to get on with it."
Conservative MPs will vote between 18:00 to 20:00 GMT, with the results expected shortly after.
