Theresa May says that the next seven days are critical for Britain

British Prime Minister Theresa May said the next seven days in the Brexit process would be critical for the country's future, after a week of resignations and calls to oust her over her proposed Brexit deal.

The Prime-Minister has said that the next seven days were critical for Britain, in her first television interview since she revealed her Brexit plans.

It follows a slew of resignations and letters of no confidence being submitted in her.

But Theresa May also said that as far as she was aware, a formal challenge to her leadership had not yet gained enough support to trigger a confidence vote.

"As far as I know, no, it has not," May said, when asked if the threshold had been met for a formal leadership contest.

To trigger a contest, 48 lawmakers from her Conservative Party must submit letter to the chairman of the committee in charge of leadership contests.
