Boris Johnson has sought to draw a line under a bruising confidence vote by urging Cabinet ministers to focus on tax cutting and levelling up
During the Cabinet session, Mr Johnson spoke of"delivering tax cuts", cutting the costs of business as well as government, the"levelling up" agenda to address regional inequality, measures to address the cost of living surge, and improving public services.
Former Tory leader Lord Hague was among those calling for Mr Johnson to go now, arguing in an article in The Times that"the damage done to his premiership is severe". But Mr Johnson won backing from colleagues including his deputy Dominic Raab, who told Sky News that the PM had not been disheartened by the vote and now has"renewed energy" to deliver his policies.
