There are reports that the head of the Conservative Party's 1922 committee will announce a vote of no confidence in Prime Minister Boris Johnson today (Monday, June 6). Graham Brady is expected to make the announcement about Mr Johnson, according to ITV.
Sir Graham will make a short statement to the cameras and a secret ballot of Tory MPs would then follow within days, if the format follows prior such cases. Tory rebels believe 54 letters - the number needed to trigger a vote of no confidence - has already been reached and will be announced on Monday morning, The Mirror reports.
It comes shortly after the Partygate scandal and the Sue Gray report being published, with many calling on the PM to resign - he was only issued with one fixed penalty notice following illegal gatherings in Downing Street. Mr Johnson said he was "humbled" by the findings but tried to shift blame onto staff by claiming he wasn't aware of how raucous some events became.
