Dominic Raab has claimed Boris Johnson won't face a no confidence vote next week as Tory anger over Partygate threatens to boil over.
The Deputy Prime Minister sought to downplay mounting speculation in Westminster that Mr Johnson could face a crunch ballot on his leadership as "froth" and said the mood at the top of Government was "fine".
In a series of interviews, Mr Raab said he doubted enough Tory MPs had written to backbench chief Sir Graham Brady to trigger a vote - despite claims the 54-letter threshold had been met.
