RECAP: Boris Johnson to be questioned by senior MPs with PM set to appear before Liaison Committee

Boris Johnson retained the support of most colleagues but was left badly weakened after the no confidence vote in which 148 MPs voted against him

The result leaves the PM clinging to his premiership after 41% of his party voted against him.

The Prime Minister insisted he had secured a “decisive” victory despite 148 of his own MPs voting to oust him on Monday night, arguing the Government could now “move on” and focus on what “really matters to people”.

The Prime Minister will appear before the Liaison Committee, made up of the chairs of the Commons select committees.

Boris Johnson called on his ministers to “come forward” with ways to cut costs as he focussed on moving forward with the Government’s agenda during the Cabinet meeting on Tuesday.

While the make-up of the panel that will question the Prime Minister has not been announced, Mr Johnson could face a tough time as a number of the Tory MPs that chair committees have been critical of his leadership.

When Theresa May faced a confidence vote in 2018 she secured the support of 63% of her MPs, but was still forced out within six months.
