Brexit: Theresa May would survive any vote of confidence, says her deputy

'She is doing her best for the country,' said her deputy David Lidington

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.

"If those letters were to go in, I think that she would win any such vote decisively, and she'd deserve to do so," Lidington said in a broadcast clip.

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