British lawmakers voted Thursday to seek to delay Brexit - maybe for weeks, maybe for months - after Prime Minister Theresa May's plans for leaving the European Union have been repeatedly rejected by a raucous Parliament trying to wrest control from her.

Brexit Deal: With just 73 days to go until Britain is scheduled to leave the European Union, lawmakers voted down the withdrawal deal.

Prime Minister Theresa May survived a humiliating challenge to her leadership Wednesday night, beating back a no-confidence vote triggered by rebels in her Conservative Party who oppose her compromise deal on how to leave the European Union.
