British Prime Minister Theresa May has said a general election would not be in the national interest. Her remarks came in a rowdy session of Prime Ministers Question Time and came just hours before Conservative MPs will cast their ballots in a vote of no confidence in her leadership.
That was triggered by 48 letters from Conservative MPs, many angered by her Brexit plan and she proposes to solve the border issue between Northern Ireland and Ireland.
Theresa May needs a simple majority of the 315 Conservative MPs to vote for her to win the contest.
She responded to a question from Labour MP Kerry McCarthy that she would not seek a general election.
