Will British PM Survive Leadership Challenge?

Secret Ballot on the British Prime Minister's leadership is taking place.

Nuala McGovern is broadcasting from outside the British Parliament as the British Prime Minister Theresa May is facing a vote of confidence. The vote is a secret ballot, where all 315 Conservative MPS say if they support Theresa May. To win, she needs to secure 158 votes –that’s made up of a total of half of her MPs, plus one. If that happens she will be immune from another challenge for one year. But if she loses there will be a leadership contest and she will be barred from standing. Our BBC experts and those inside and outside the politics will be giving their views of the political drama in the country.
