LONDON: British Prime Minister Theresa May vowed to fight “with everything I’ve got” an attempt on Wednesday by her own Conservative party to remove her from office over her unpopular Brexit deal. If May loses, her successor would be chosen from existing Conservative MPs and would automatically become prime minister. “The last thing our country needs right now is a Conservative party leadership election,” tweeted Home Secretary Sajid Javid, tipped as a future leader. May was informed of the challenge late on Tuesday, after returning from a tour of European capitals in an attempt to salvage her Brexit deal. May has said the parliamentary vote on Brexit will be held by January 21, but MPs fear it will be delayed again.
