Theresa May to contest vote of no confidence 'with everything I've got'

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Conservative MPs are dividing into two camps ahead of tonight’s vote of no confidence in Theresa May.

Cabinet ministers and loyalist backbenchers are hitting the airwaves in support of the prime minister, while Brexiteers declare they will vote against her.

However, the vote takes place though a secret ballot, meaning MPs’ public declarations count for little.

All that matters is how they vote tonight - and you can expect the final tally to differ from the numbers of those publicly expressing loyalty.

Here are the MPs saying they support Ms May, and those vowing to vote against her.
