The Government has tabled a confidence motion in itself after blocking Labour
MPs were expected to debate and vote on the motion on Wednesday in a bid to force Mr Johnson’s immediate removal as prime minister – a move which could potentially lead to a snap election.
“Labour were given the option to table a straightforward vote of no confidence in the government in keeping with contention, however they chose not to," said a spokesperson for the government. “The government will always allow time for appropriate House matters whilst ensuring that it delivers parliamentary business to help improve people’s everyday lives.”
