May: No Confidence Vote

Confirmed in the last 20 minutes, a vote of no confidence in May will be held tonight.

Worthy of its own thread separate from the Brexit drama I think. Going to be a very dramatic day in British politics.

No Business Live today as we wait the statement to happen.

Edit: GMB now off air, the PM will contest the leadership challenge.

Tim Wilcox anchored with Sally Bundock giving business analysis then handed live to Joanna Gosling for the announcement. Back to Tim to wrap up just before 9, this was all a World simulcast.

Joanna now presenting a "BBC News Special" from Westminster.

If she loses then surly itv and bbc news will be on early?

Whats BBC1 showing at 8- could they preempt that for a news special, only going to the Apprentice if she wins and doesn't look like resigning between 9-10.
Update- Result not due to 9 according to Laura Kuennsberg

Was BBC Breakfast not covering any of this earlier then?

Yes, at 8:23 the News Channel switched rather abruptly from Breakfast (at the end of the interview with Graham Brady) to a simulcast with World (Tim Wilcox mid interview with reporter in Strasbourg), and Breakfast carried on until 9:15 on BBC One as normal.

Is the News Channel still going to go to VD and whatever inane debate and "lovely film" they've decided to have this morning?

Yes, but it's live from Westminster, simulcast on BBC World News.

World is now simulcasting VD with NC for the first few minutes of GMT.

Ha, potentially two 'You're Fired' s tonight !
