 Theresa May Faces Vote Of No Confidence, May Lose Position as UK Prime Minister


The British Prime Minister, Theresa May, faces a leadership challenge on Wednesday that could see her exit her position as leader of the Conservative Party and thus Prime Minister.

The vote of confidence was triggered by a request by 48 Conservative parliamentarians.

A vote by Conservative MPs is expected to be held on Wednesday evening between 6 and 8 p.m. local time.

Ms May, however, said she would do everything possible to keep her seat. “I will contest that vote with everything that I’ve got,” she said.

She said she believes “in the conservative vision for a better future.”

In an address to the public on Wednesday morning, Ms May said she was in the best position to lead the UK through a successful Brexit deal. She said her exit as Conservative leader would only favour opposition politicians including labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Many Conservative lawmakers had opposed Ms May’s deal she got with the EU in the process to get the UK out of the European Union.

The prime minister requires 158 supporters to survive, after which there cannot be another contest for one year, although rejection by more than 100 lawmakers from the Conservative party could damage her fatally. 

"BREAKING: It’s official - Prime Minister Theresa May to face vote of confidence TONIGHT. If she doesn’t get over 50% of votes from her own Tory MPs, she’s OUT," Piers Morgan wrote on Twitter.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission
