LIVE UPDATES: As time draws for the no confidence vote result to be announced, a BBC journalist has said Prime Minister Theresa May will have less power even if she wins tonight.

Political editor, Laura Kuenssberg quoted a tory insider who said, she’ll have a “little more time”. But to do what?

As ZimEye carries a LIVE analysis program the UK Guardian speculates saying is she is defeated, constitutional convention is that the PM remains in place until they can recommend to the Queen a successor who can command a majority in the House of Commons. There is no provision for interim leaders.

Meanwhile, Laura Kuenssberg wrote saying: Conservative Party rules state that if she wins tonight she can stay on as leader, undisturbed, for another 12 months.

That takes one uncertainty off the table. But she would be weaker – lonelier – and with less authority to drive her Brexit compromise through.

Already, cabinet ministers are speculating about which way she can tack.

The parliamentary sums don’t change on her current planned agreement with the EU. The cabinet, let alone the rest of the Commons, won’t give their backing.

So the Prime Minister is left tonight even with a likely victory, with less time in office, less authority, and with no credible Brexit policy – and now, even more to do.
