Theresa May vowed to carry on as U.K. prime minister, insisting she has the full support of her Cabinet despite a campaign to oust her that threatens to complicate Brexit talks.

May is facing calls to quit after a disastrous election campaign in June and a chaotic speech to her party’s conference in Manchester on Wednesday, which was disrupted by a prankster, a prolonged coughing fit and a stage set that started to collapse behind her. A group of Conservatives fear she will lose the next election, handing power to socialist Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
