Tory MPs have blocked an attempt to force an early general election after Boris Johnson was "forced out in disgrace".
Despite calls for him to resign en-masse earlier this month, Conservative Party MPs rallied behind the Prime Minister this evening - backing his leadership in a confidence vote.
Backing calls for an election, Newcastle MP Chi Onwurah said this was now "a vampire Government, effectively dead but still continuing to suck the lifeblood from my constituents".
