BenG Popster for Sale 45,570 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 (edited) Boris Johnson, the UK prime minister, will face a no-confidence vote later today at 6pm. According to the rules in the Conservative party, a no-confidence vote is trigger when more than 15% of Conservative MPs submit a no-confidence letter to Graham Brady, the chair of the 1922 Committee. This means more than 54 Conservative MPs have done so. If Johnson survives, he will be safe from another no-confidence vote for a year; if he loses, he will have to step aside and he will be disqualified from the next leadership election. The vote will close at 8pm and the results will be announced shortly after. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/jun/06/boris-johnson-face-confidence-vote-scores-tory-mps-call-on-him-to-go Edited June 6, 2022 by BenG 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
