British Prime Minister Theresa May reached out to opposition parties to "constructively" work together on a new Brexit plan as she narrowly survived a no-confidence vote in Parliament, a day after her divisive divorce deal with the EU was overwhelmingly rejected by MPs.
The prime minister won Parliament's first no-confidence vote in a British government in 26 years by 325 votes to 306, a majority of 19, on Wednesday.
Speaking outside 10 Downing Street after emerging victorious, 62-year-old May said the government has won the confidence of Parliament.
This now gives "us all the opportunity to focus on finding a way forward on Brexit", she said.
May promised to return to Parliament on Monday with an alternative Brexit strategy devised through talks with the opposition.
"Overwhelmingly, the British people want us to get on with delivering Brexit, and also address the other important issues they care about," the Conservative leader said.
This is now the time to put "self-interest aside", .
