North East MPs react as Boris Johnson narrowly escapes vote of no confidence

North East Members of Parliament have shown mixed emotions following this evening's results from a vote of no confidence against Prime Minister, Boris Johnson.

Sir Graham Brady earlier revealed that the vote of no confidence would take place this evening, after he finally received in excess of 54 letters from members of the Conservative Party, who had little to no faith in their leader.

This evening's proceedings came shortly after Sue Gray's report was published - which revealed that the Conservative leader had violated stringent Coronavirus restrictions and regulations, with parties at No 10 Downing Street while most of the UK was prevented from meeting others and attending social events.
