Does the UK have something like impeachment?

Not that I'm aware of. If the prime minister has done something wrong then he or she is ousted by their party. Like Margaret Thatcher was.

You guys have a vote of no-confidence, right? How similar is that to impeachment?

I dont know much about impeachment. So far it seems like an opportunity for the Democrats to whine and make fancy off topic speeches.

Everyone really makes off topic speeches. I watched a few hours worth of democratic and republican politicians making off-topic speeches today. It's mostly a chance for one party to find a good excuse for their rightful actions and the other party to complain about all the excuses they would be touting if they were impeaching a different president from the other party. Impeachment is a step that requires a good deal of the legislative branch to agree that a president did something wrong and should be removed.

How similar do you think the vote of no-confidence is? I gather it isn't the same as the US where impeachment carries the threat of removal from any office.

They could just be arrested by the police.

Probably not, they would only do it if it was a certainty.
