"I will contest this vote with everything I've got". Prime Minister Theresa May says she will fight on after a vote of no confidence was triggered in her leadership. A vote to determine Mrs May's future will take place later today. Conservative MPs will make their decision between 6 pm and 8 pm. The challenge to Mrs May's position comes after the required 48 letters calling for a contest were delivered. So Theresa May will fight on. But who else is in the running? And what could a new Prime Minister mean for Northern Ireland? Stephen spoke to Alliance MLA Naomi Long, BBC NI political editor Mark Devenport, Tory MP and former Brexit Minister David Jones and Crispin Blunt, and SDLP MLA Claire Hanna.
