A confidence vote in British Prime Minister Boris Johnson could be triggered as early as tonight, Sky journalist Tom Larkin said on Twitter citing a member of the 1922 Committee which oversees such votes.

He said the rules of the committee, which currently give Johnson immunity from a confidence vote until next year, were likely be changed this afternoon.
