2019 vote of confidence in the May ministry information


On 15 January 2019, a motion of no confidence in the government of Theresa May was tabled in the House of Commons. On 16 January, the House rejected the motion by a vote of 325 to 306.

The motion was laid by Jeremy Corbyn, the Leader of the Labour Party and Leader of the Opposition, after the government had lost a Commons vote to secure parliamentary backing for the government's deal for Britain's withdrawal from the European Union by 230 votes on the evening of 15 January. That vote, 432 to 202 for rejecting the deal, represented the largest defeat for a sitting government in modern history.

The motion was debated on the afternoon of 16 January before it was voted on that evening. The vote went along party lines. All opposition parties supported it, while the ruling Conservatives and the Democratic Unionist Party, in accord with their confidence and supply agreement, opposed it.

Following the vote, Prime Minister Theresa May requested individual meetings with leaders of all parties to discuss how to continue with the process of leaving the European Union. Corbyn declined the invitation, saying he would not meet her unless she would ensure that a no-deal Brexit would not occur, while all other party leaders accepted it.
