The prime minister is now immune from another leadership challenge for 12 months, but over 140 of his own MPs voting to say they have no confidence in him will severely undermine his leadership

Gale: PM should consider his positionSir Roger Gale, an outspoken critic of Mr Johnson who voted"no confidence," told Sky News he thinks Mr Johnson should not take the party into the next election.

"And I think a prime minister of honour would look at the figures, accept the fact that he has lost the support of a significant proportion of his party and consider his position.Boris Johnson leaves the Houses of Parliament after his narrow victory "As someone who supported Boris Johnson in leadership election & wants to deliver the manifesto promises made at 2019 GE, it is regrettable that I had to vote against the PM but I no longer have confidence in his ability to lead us through the challenges we face as a nation."Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi said Mr Johnson won the vote"handsomely," telling Sky News:"I think the important thing to remember is that we only are able to deliver if we are united.

Asked if he could acknowledge it was not a good result, he told Sky News:"No, I can acknowledge it. Of course I support Boris Johnson. Would I have liked the majority to be higher for him this evening? Of course, I would. "Or a united Labour Party with a plan to fix the cost-of-living crisis and restore trust in politics. Labour will get Britain back on track."
