After surviving a vote of confidence in his leadership of the Conservative Party, Prime Minister Boris Johnson was set for a key cabinet meeting on Tuesday as he seeks to "move on" after what he insisted was a "decisive victory".
The PM saw 148 of his own MPs vote against him on Monday night - but he is adamant that the victory should see him able to "draw a line" under criticism and "focus on what “really matters to people".
Mr Johnson also said he was "certainly not interested" in the idea of a snap election. But the opposition Labour Party is moving to apply further pressure by pushing for a House of Commons vote on standards. The party is urging MPs from all sides to back calls for Mr Johnson’s ethics adviser Lord Geidt to be given the freedom to launch his own investigations into potential ministerial rule breaches.
