British Prime Minister Theresa May on Wednesday night called on MPs to "put self-interest aside" and "work constructively together" to find a way forward for Brexit after she survived a vote of no confidence by 325 to 306.

"I am disappointed that the leader of the Labour Party has not so far chosen to take part, but our door remains open," she said, referring to opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn, and added, "Overwhelmingly the British people want us to get on with delivering Brexit and also address the other important issues they care about. I believe it is my duty to deliver on the British people's instruction to leave the European Union and I intend to do so."
