KYIV. UkraineGate , 6 , June , 2022 | World News.
The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Boris Johnson will face a vote of confidence today after a sufficient number of Conservative MPs have sent letters calling for this.
Details
After the so-called “Partygate”, a political scandal in Britain over party and other meetings of the government and the Conservative Party, which took place during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was much speculation about Johnson’s leadership. Thus, 15% of Conservative MPs submitted letters of confidence to the Prime Minister, the chairman of the Tory Committee of Sir Sir Graham Brady.
Sir Graham Brady briefed the Prime Minister on the required number of votes and they agreed on the timing of the vote.
Johnson will remain in office if half of the deputies vote for him plus one, ie 180 people. The vote will take place on June 6 from 18:00 to 20:00 in the House of Commons, and the decision will be announced about an hour after the end.

“The Prime Minister welcomes the opportunity to express his position to MPs and reminds them that when they are united and focused on issues that are important to voters, there will no longer be a political force of concern,” said a spokesman for Downing Street.
