British Prime Minister Theresa May brushed aside questions Monday about whether she will resign if her Brexit deal is rejected by Parliament next week, saying she's confident she'll still have a job after the crucial vote.

May is battling to persuade lawmakers to support the divorce agreement between Britain and the European Union in a December 11 House of Commons vote.

Opposition parties say they will vote against it, as do dozens of lawmakers from May's Conservatives.

Defeat would leave the UK facing a messy, economically damaging "no-deal" Brexit on March 29 and could topple the Conservative prime minister, her government, or both.

May said Monday that "I will still have a job in two weeks' time."
