A no-confidence vote in Boris Johnson is inching slowly closer after a string of high-profile Tories called on the Prime Minister to quit over Partygate.
By tonight 29 MPs had publicly called for the PM to go in a drip-drip of letters to the backbenchers’ 1922 Committee since the Sue Gray report.
It follows months of mostly empty speculation about the PM facing a leadership challenge, and most believe he would survive a vote.
