TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

 London stocks finished on a mixed note on Wednesday as Theresa May faced a vote of no confidence, but in any case losses for the top flight index weren’t too pronounced, thanks to a strong performance from the housebuilding sector and hopes of a Brexit delay.

After the government lost the ‘meaningful vote’ on May’s Brexit plan by a record margin of 432 to 202, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn tabled a vote of no confidence in the government.
