Newark MP makes statement on Prime Minister Boris Johnson no confidence vote

A Nottinghamshire MP has shared his verdict on the ongoing no confidence vote facing the Prime Minister. Boris Johnson faces a vote of no confidence today after rebel MP's triggered a vote on his leadership in the Commons.

If more than half of MPs vote they do not hold confidence in Mr Johnson’s leadership he will be removed as PM. Newark MP Robert Jenrick has now took to Twitter to defend the Prime Minister.

"I supported Boris Johnson in 2019 and will vote for him to continue as PM tonight. The full attention of the party needs to be on growing the economy, delivering on our promise to level-up and playing the leading role in Europe’s defence. That’s how we win the next election," Mr Jenrick posted.
