Boris Johnson vote of no confidence expected 'this morning' by Tory rebels

Tory rebels are expected to announce a vote of no confidence in the Prime Minister, according to reports.

The head of the Conservative Party's 1922 committee Graham Brady is set to make the announcement about Boris Johnson "this morning", reports ITV. If the format follows prior such cases, Sir Graham will make a short statement to the cameras and a secret ballot of Tory MPs would then follow within days, reports the Mirror.

Tory rebels believe 54 letters - the number needed to trigger a vote of no confidence - has already been reached and will be announced on Monday morning.
