Scandal-hit Boris Johnson is braced for a fresh Tory revolt as election results pour in tomorrow.
During the run-up to polling day, Conservative rebels relaxed calls for the Prime Minister to quit over Partygate.
But No10 is prepared for a renewed onslaught if, as predicted, the party loses support when ballots are counted.
In a sign of growing discontent among Tories from David Cameron 's era, former minister Nick Boles said today: “First time I’ve voted Labour since an equally glorious May morning in 1997.”
But loyal Education Minister Michelle Donelan said: “We have an 80-seat majority driven by this Prime Minister who is an asset not a liability.”
Mr Johnson took dog Dilyn to cast his vote at Westminster’s Methodist Central Hall, where a member of the public mistook him for Simon Cowell.
Labour leader Keir Starmer and wife Victoria voted at a polling station in Kentish Town, North London. Lib Dem boss Sir Ed Davey said he believed his party would “make gains” in councils, capitalising on the “soft” Tory vote.
He arrived to vote in Surbiton, South West London, on foot from his office where he passed a hearse.
