A Greater Manchester Conservative MP believes Boris Johnson has a fight on his hands to survive as the Prime Minister following a vote of no confidence. Despite winning the poll last on Monday (June 6) the pressure has not been taken off the PM as over 40 per cent of Conservative MPs said they had lost confidence in him.
Tory MPs voted by 211 to 148 to keep him as party leader and Prime Minister. The vote of no confidence was triggered after more than 54 MPs submitted letters of no confidence to Altrincham and Sale West MP, Sir Graham Brady, who chairs the 1922 Committee of Conservative MPs.
While a number of Greater Manchester Tory MPs voiced their support to Boris Johnson before the vote, when contacted by the Manchester Evening News on their thoughts on the result, only two replied. This is despite senior Conservative figures, such as deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab, saying that last night's vote should 'draw a line in the sand', and many Tories across the country posting their support.
