The prime minister’s Downing Street office says May and her husband, Philip, started a short vacation on Saturday.

Parliament is on an Easter break until April 23. Division in the House of Commons over Brexit brought months of bruising battles that didn’t stop lawmakers from rejecting May’s European Union divorce deal three times.
