Health Secretary Sajid Javid has defended the Prime Minister this morning (June 8) and said changing Conservative Party rules on confidence votes should not be changed. The Bristolian supported Boris Johnson during the vote on his leadership which was held on Monday in Westminster.
Mr Johnson survived the secret ballot, called after the party's backbench 1922 Committee received 54 letters calling for the vote. However, his future still remains uncertain after 148 MPs from the party voted against him.
Following the results, there have been calls for rules around the votes to be changed as another cannot be held for 12 months. Sir Graham Brady, the 1922 Committee chairman, has suggested to the press that there is scope for rule changes.
