The UK Times reports the latest headlines, citing that the UK PM Theresa May is said to have threatened the Conservative rebels with a general election this summer if they defeated her plans on customs after Brexit.
She was noted as saying that ‘back me or we hold an election’.
Late-Tuesday, Theresa May survived the confidence vote by a majority of six, although 12 of her MPs walked through the opposition division lobbies in defiance. The UK House of Commons voted 307 vs. 301 to reject the amendment NC18 to the trade bill.
