Labour
leader Jeremy Corbyn has called for a no confidence vote in Theresa
May in the House of Commons, saying the UK is facing a constitutional
crisis and the prime minister is the architect.
May
postponed the vote on Brexit earlier in December, confirming on
Monday that it will happen on the week of January 14. In response,
Corbyn said that putting the vote off until next month is
unacceptable.
The vote
would be of confidence –or none– in the prime minister rather
than in her government, which means it wouldn't be binding. It
remains unclear when the vote will take place.
In
addition to Corbyn, 29 other MPs, 15 peers, and five MEPs have signed
a letter urging Labour leaders to call for the no confidence vote.
Labour lawmakers believe May is simply trying to "run down the
clock."
