We asked people if Boris Johnson should resign and they had some strong opinions

We asked people in Wales to share their opinion on whether Prime Minister Boris Johnson should resign - and most agreed on the answer. On Monday Mr Johnson won the backing of a majority of Tory MPs in a confidence vote despite a significant number voting against his leadership.

The PM won 59% of the vote, meaning he is now immune from a Conservative leadership challenge for a year. Altogether 211 Tory MPs voted they had confidence in his leadership while 148 voted against him. Following the vote, Mr Johnson said his confidence vote win was "decisive".

It came after Sue Gray's report released last month heavily criticising the Prime Minister and other officials for a series of lockdown rule-breaking parties at Mr Johnson's office. The confidence vote was triggered after 15% of Conservative lawmakers submitted letters of no-confidence.
