The leader of Britain’s main opposition party has submitted a motion of no-confidence in Prime Minister Theresa May — a largely symbolic move of censure.

Jeremy Corbyn called for the vote after May announced that Parliament would not vote on Britain’s divorce deal with the European Union until the week of Jan. 14, more than a month after it was originally scheduled.

Defeat would increase pressure on the prime minister. But unlike a no-confidence motion in the government, a vote on May as an individual has no power to topple the government and force an election.
