Boris Johnson has survived tonight’s no-confidence vote by Conservative MPs – but more than 41% voted against him, meaning that Johnson has lost the support of a huge percentage of his back-bench MPs.

The result, 211-148, was considerably worse in percentage and straight numerical terms than his predecessor Theresa May achieved in her own no-confidence vote – and she was gone mere months later. Johnson’s percentages were also worse than those managed by John Major and Margaret Thatcher, too – both of whom were soon history.
