Boris Johnson survives confidence vote

Conservative MPs in the UK have voted in favour of Boris Johnson remaining as PM by 211 to 148.

The result means Johnson has survived the confidence vote brought by his own party.

This win comes despite a substantial rebellion by his own members of parliament.

Johnson told MPs in a private meeting before the vote "I'll win for you again,"

Under the current rules of the Conservative Party, the PM cannot be challenged in a leadership vote again for 12 months

The confidence vote follows anger over Sue Gray's report detailing lockdown rule-breaking in Downing Street.
