British Prime Minister Theresa May dug in against a growing push by both rivals and former allies to remove her from office as her attempts to lead Britain out of the European Union appeared to be headed for a dead end.
May resisted calls to rip up her tattered Brexit blueprint and end her embattled premiership after her attempt at compromise was rejected by both her own Conservative Party and opposition lawmakers.
There was a feverish atmosphere in Parliament, as Conservative backbenchers met in private to discuss a leadership challenge and expectations were rising that May could be forced to announce her departure within hours or days.
