Boris Johnson 'no confidence' vote - number of Tory MPs needed to oust Prime Minister from office

A vote of confidence in Boris Johnson is set to take place this evening after enough Conservative MPs called for one to take place. But what happens now?

The vote has been triggered because 15% of Tory MPs have requested it. This means a vote is set to take place at 6pm tonight (June 6).

As per the rules, if half of the MPs vote that they have no confidence in the Prime Minister's leadership, he will stand down. But if he wins the vote, he cannot be challenged again for another 12 months.
