Theresa May clings to her post despite the threat of no confidence after the resignation of two key ministers in her government because of disagreement with her about her approach to Brexit.

Tuesday, British Prime Minister Theresa Mae, whose government gathers plans to remain in power despite the threat of no-confidence after her two key cabinet ministers resigned over a dispute over her approach to Brexit.

Brexit minister David Davis and Foreign Minister Boris Johnson, both in favor of a clear separation from the European Union, submitted their resignation on Monday afternoon, saying Britain was moving towards a “half- Brexit ” and would become a “colony” to the European Union.

May has been quickly named as she tries to stay in line despite the stormy situation, but she faces the risk of a vote of no confidence in the event of a coalition of supporters of a complete and sharp separation to overthrow them.

The party’s rules of procedure stipulate that at least 48 deputies must agree to refer the matter to the 1922 Committee, which is responsible for organizing the ranks of governors and starting a vote-of-confidence mechanism.

The votes of 159 conservative deputies out of 316 should then be collected to bring down the prime minister, which is not guaranteed.

Number of full and clear Brexit supporters is insufficient to expel May from power and impose their wording on the Parliament on the House of Commons”.

However, this doesn’t mean that May is safe, and it’s still possible that new members will resign from her government.

“The resignations” will continue one after the other until they get rid of (the Brexit plan, which was approved Friday at a meeting of its government at its summer headquarters) or leave it, as number of full and clear Brexit supporters told The Guardian newspaper.

The British press reported on Tuesday the events of “anarchist” on Monday, and the Times considered that the resignation of the foreign minister was “neither sudden nor regrettable”, a note that Johnson had previously worked as a journalist before being sacked for “fabricating” himself.

The Daily Mail newspaper, which supports Brexit, said it “understands and shares the disappointment of the Brexit supporters”, but fears the risk of destabilizing the government at this critical stage in Britain at a time when it must leave the EU in less than nine months.

British and European negotiators, who resume their talks next week, hope to reach an agreement on the terms of the British withdrawal and draw up a plan for future trade relations at an EU summit in October.

“There are only a few weeks left to complete negotiations on exit from the EU, it is a crucial moment for the country”, the Financial Times said.

“By destabilizing the government, the rebels are destabilizing Brexit itself”, warned former adviser to Prime Minister Nick Timothy in the Sun newspaper.

“Prepare for an exit without agreement”.

Only the conservative Telegraph newspaper, where Johnson had worked, defended the minister’s decision and called on Theresa May to review her strategy, calling the government’s agreement on Brexit “a poor set of proposals that would encourage the EU to demand more concessions”.

Johnson resigned at a time when Britain is facing several important international stations, notably NATO summit Wednesday and Thursday in Brussels and US President Donald Trump’s visit to London from Thursday.

He also didn’t attend a meeting of Balkan foreign ministers Monday and Tuesday in London.

He was replaced on Monday evening by Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt, who was a proponent of Britain’s survival in the European Union before he changed his position and supported Brexit.

Brexit minister David Davis was replaced by Dominic Raab, who is a skeptic of the EU’s viability.
