Tory MPs Join Forces To Depose Boris Johnson In The Wake Of The Lockdown Parties
Boris Johnson will try to shore up his sagging authority during prime minister's questions today, despite reports that at least ten Conservative MPs elected in 2019 had submitted letters of no confidence in his leadership this morning.
More than 20 Conservatives who gained seats in the previous general election met yesterday to discuss how to settle their worries about Johnson's premiership, which has sparked a growing dissent among the party's newest MPs.
After prime minister's questions this afternoon, a number of MPs are planning to submit letters of no confidence, but approximately half of them were so enraged by the government's attempt to quell the rebellion that they submitted theirs in this morning, according to one of the MPs.
