After the Supreme Court ruled against the prime minister, Johnson dared critics to call a no-confidence vote. The opposition countered with an election offer, so long as a Brexit delay is guaranteed.

The move would shorten the time lawmakers have to organize an opposition vote to a no-deal Brexit. But critics accuse the prime minister of circumventing the democratic process.

May had been under intense pressure from lawmakers to step down after her plans for Brexit were repeatedly rejected. Conservative lawmakers will now begin to consider her replacement.

Lawmakers will vote on whether to postpone Brexit beyond the March 29 departure date, but there could be a hitch. Here's what to know.

The British prime minister's office confirmed the deal Tuesday without offering details. But that did not silence Theresa May's critics at home, many of whom have already expressed opposition.

Police believe the attacker who killed three people before being shot to death acted alone and was "inspired by international terrorism."

Citing frustrations over Brexit negotiations, Nicola Sturgeon announced Monday that she will pursue a second referendum on Scottish independence, to be held as early as fall 2018.
