Suggestions to change Tory party rules to hold another no confidence vote in Boris Johnson have not gone down well with some.
Current rules of the Conservatives’ 1922 Committee mean that the party leader cannot face a second no-confidence vote within 12 months of a first.
One MP, Andrew Bridgen, has said he will stand for the committee on the basis of seeking to change its rules. “To change them now would be an assault on what we have always cherished which protects us all. Namely complying with the rules and respecting the outcome of a vote. Ms Allan said:"A vote has been held and most colleagues respect the outcome. I would not support changing the rules to try to get a different answer. It is time for MPs to support the Government in dealing with the very difficult challenges the country faces, instead of continuing to focus on internal party issues.”
