Pro-Brexit Conservative MP, Peter Bone, told the BBC the result was by no means a win for Ms May
“More than a third of the parliamentary party does not support her, she’ll have to consider her position,” he said.
Fellow Conservative Jacob Rees-Mogg said while he accepts the resukt of the vote, the fact that vast majority of backbenchers who are not in government did not back her is damning.
“She clearly does not have the confidence of the House of Commons and should make way for someone who does,” he said.
Ms May, who has faced widespread criticism over the deal she negotiated to leave the European Union, earlier vowed to fight the confidence vote “with everything I’ve got”.
