British PM Boris Johnson has won the backing of a majority of Tory MPs but his critics say that the rebellion, the largest of any sitting prime minister, has weakened his rule.
In an effort to increase its post-Brexit geopolitical clout, London is strengthening its relations with states accused of gross human abuses.
Boris Johnson's Conservative Party could win 359 seats out of 650, up from 317 in the 2017 general election, according to the YouGov results published by the Times of London newspaper.
Will Boris Johnson live to fight another day?
Nigel Farage tells Boris Johnson to drop the Brexit deal, and emphasises that he will fight for every seat in UK general elections to protect Brexit from failure.
The House of Commons on Tuesday approved the December 12 election in the hope of breaking the deadlock over Britain's departure from the European Union. Johnson's Conservative Party has a wide lead in opinion polls.
UK PM Johnson's offer focuses on a complicated proposal for preserving a free-flowing border between British-run Northern Ireland and EU member state Ireland after Brexit.
The European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker says the Irish-British border should be controlled if Britain leaves the bloc without a deal while the British government will be responsible for that.
The court's entry into Brexit stems from PM Boris Johnson's "do or die" promise to take UK out of the EU without any further delay.
Officials say British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will hold talks with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker in Luxembourg.
The law, which would require PM Boris Johnson to seek a three-month delay to Brexit if he does not manage to strike a deal with the EU by October 19, will now go for formal approval by Queen Elizabeth II.
The 328 to 301 vote, made possible by fellow Conservatives who turned their back on Johnson's pleas, cleared the way for Johnson's opponents to introduce a bill that seeks to prevent Britain from leaving the European Union without a deal October 31.
