Welsh secretary Simon Hart has denied 148 MPs voting against the Prime Minister remaining as leader of his own party had been a "terrible" night for the Conservative Party. His responses in a radio interview led to a barrage of comments including one describing him as "deluded".
In an interview with Matt Chorley from Times Radio, he denied it had been a "terrible night" for the Prime Minister. When asked he interjected: "I don't think it is."
The journalist then said: "Don't treat me like an idiot. More than 40% of Conservative MPs have voted and they don't have confidence in the Prime Minister."
