Bruised Boris Johnson has claimed his narrow win of confidence from Tory MPs is an "extremely good" result - insisting he is even more popular than he was in 2019.
The Prime Minister spent the entire day pleading and begging Tories to vote for him in the embarrassing no confidence vote claiming the public would not forgive them for following "Westminster" issues.
He even told Tory MPs in a private Westminster meeting that “under my leadership” the party had won its biggest electoral victory in 40 years.
