The final straw however seems to have been government's intention to "risk a deliberate and purposeful breach of the Ministerial Code." Is an affront that places him in an "odious position" and makes a "mockery "of the Ministerial code.

The PM survives the no confidence vote, but with 41% of Conservative MPs voting against him the question is how long for?

[Mark Pawsey @MarkPawsey]

In this afternoon’s vote I will be unable to give my support to the Prime Minister. The country has reason to be grateful to Boris Johnson for getting Brexit done after a period of uncertainty and for securing a successful vaccine programme in the face of the pandemic.

I’m sorry to have to resign as the PM’s Anti-Corruption Tsar but, after his reply last week about the Ministerial Code, it’s pretty clear he has broken it. That’s a resigning matter for me, and it should be for the PM too. Here’s my letter to him explaining why.

Former foreign secretary Jeremy Hunt who lost the leadership contest to Boris Johnson in 2019, tweets that he will be voting against the PM tonight: https://t.co/fwnHIbtkw8

[Sir Jeremy Hunt MP @Jeremy_Hunt]

The Conservative Party must now decide if it wishes to change its leader. Because of the situation in Ukraine this was not a debate I wanted to have now but under our rules we must do that.

@nigelmp Is this a cryptic attempt to inform people about which way you will vote in the no confidence ballot?

In a wide ranging letter he criticises everything from an ugly, "doubtfully legal" Rwanda policy, to proposed breach of N Ireland protocol. Now Brady has confirmed threshold has been reached will other MPs go public with their letters to encourage a vote against the PM?

[1922 Letters @1922Letters]

Jesse Norman, MP for Hereford and S Herefordshire confirms that he has submitted a letter of no-confidence in the PM. Says PM's claim to be vindicated by #SueGrayReport is "grotesque" and that he could see no circumstances under which he could serve as a minister under PM again.

[1922 Letters @1922Letters]

Brady informed the PM yesterday that threshold have been reached. They agreed ballot should take place asap. Unclear how many letter of no-confidence were sent or exactly when threshold was crossed. Brady says that some MPs specified letters only effective after Jubilee. #boris

[1922 Letters @1922Letters]

Boris Johnson is to face confidence vote as the 54 letter threshold has been passed. A statement by Sir Graham Brady says that the ballot will take place between 1800 and 2000 today. The PM will need to secure a majority of the vote to survive.

Simon Fell, MP for Barrow and Furness and part of the 2019 intake becomes the latest MP to express his disappointment with the "rotten core" and "unacceptable culture" in number 10. In a letter to constituents Fell however did not confirm submitting a letter of no confidence.

[Paul Brand @PaulBrandITV]

Word among Conservative MPs is that Boris Johnson has begun calling his critics, hinting at the prospect of promotion and asking in return that they 'stay with me'. Clearly No 10 feel the threat of a confidence vote if those kind of approaches are being made.
