Boris Johnson has survived a leadership challenge, but questions remain about how long he will remain as leader after 148 of his own MPs voted against him. Welsh secretary Simon Hart was mocked for denying that it had been a " terrible night" for the Prime Minister in a radio interview.
In a letter to his MPs before the crucial vote on Monday, June 6, Mr Johnson vowed to "continue to listen and learn from colleagues" and adds that "some of the criticism has perhaps been fair, some less so". You can also see what he told MPs when he spoke to them at 4pm here, two hours before the secret vote opened.
After the result was made public, he said it was a "very good", "convincing" result and "an opportunity to put behind us all the stuff that the media goes on about". You can see all the details from the vote here. Ahead of the ballot we asked all of Wales' Conservatives MPs whether or not they would be backing Mr Johnson or voting against him but more have now made their positions public.
