Sir Graham Brady, chair of the Conservative 1922 Committee, announced that 211 Conservative MPs backed Johnson, with 148 voting that they had no confidence in the prime minister.
Despite winning, Johnson has lost the support of a larger proportion of the parliamentary party than Theresa May did when she faced a no-confidence vote in 2018. Within eight months of that result, May was out.
