 Our Prime Minister Boris Johnson has warned the backing of a majority of Tory MPs in the confidence vote despite a significant revolt against his leadership. The PM won 59% of the vote, meaning he is now immune from a conservative leadership challenge for a year. In all 211 Tory MPs voted, they had confidence in the MP's leadership while 148 voted against him. Mr Johnson described his confidence vote win as decisive, striking and not beton. He said it was a very good, convincing result and an opportunity to put behind, quote, all the stuff that the media goes on about end of quote. The result sees the Prime Minister remain in office, but critics said that a scale of the rebellion against him showed his authority had been weakened, with some calling on him to resign. The vote share in support of Mr Johnson was lower than the 63% received by the former Prime Minister Theresa May when she won a party confidence vote in 2018 before resigning six months later over a Brexit deadlock.
