Keir Starmer, the U.K. Labour Party's Brexit spokesman, said it would be "inevitable" that the opposition party would move for a no-confidence vote against Prime Minister Theresa May if a vote in Parliament on her Brexit deal fails later this month, per the AP.

Details: Both May and top European Union officials have presented her deal as the only possible option, meaning that the United Kingdom would face the possibility of a "no-deal" Brexit should the vote fail, which May's own chief economic minister said last week would involve dire economic consequences.

There are only five states in the U.S. where voters younger than 35 embrace President Trump over Joe Biden, and none are swing states, according to new 50-state SurveyMonkey-Tableau data for Axios.
