British PM wants to move on with no confidence vote quickly: Brady

British Prime Minister Theresa May could not have been surprised about the triggering of a no-confidence vote against her and wants to move on with it quickly, the chairman of a Conservative committee which will organise the vote said on Wednesday.

Asked how May was when he called her last night, Graham Brady, chair of the so-called 1922 Committee, told BBC radio: "I don't want to be drawn into the prime minister's demeanor, but I think businesslike and keen to proceed as quickly as possible."

"From my own perspective, I think that is clearly in the interests of the country as well as the government and the Conservative party."
