41% of his MPs don’t want him as their leader and still he stays….. ?

He should resign ASAP

The year is not written in tablets of stone. Brady has indicated that.

Bugger!

Hmm, Thatcher and May resigned after much less of a drubbing- eventually. He is besmirching the Tory Party the longer he hangs on. And I'm not a Tory voter.

It couldn’t have been a better result for the opposition.

A totally wounded prime minister who leads a party that will undoubtedly now be at war and it will only be a few months after the by elections and standards committee that there will be another vote.

He can’t survive this. If he had any pride he would leave now, but he hasn’t, so he won’t.

Probably stuck with him for another year!

Also means that nearly 60% voted for him.

Boris Johnson wins confidence vote by 211 votes to 148
Sir Graham Brady, chair of the Conservative 1922 Committee, says 359 votes were cast. There were no spoilt ballots.

Confidence in Boris Johnson: 211

No confidence in Johnson: 148

That means more than 40% of Tory MPs voted against Johnson.
