British Prime Minister Theresa May would likely win any vote of confidence in her leadership should Conservative lawmakers write enough letters to a party committee to trigger one, her deputy David Lidington said on Friday.

"She is doing her best for the country. The national interest, I think, says that we should rally in her support."
