Boris Johnson is 2/5 to win a Vote of Confidence in his leadership of the Tory party after the motion was triggered this morning, but the Prime Minister is odds-on at 5/6 to leave No 10 this year. Jeremy Hunt is the 9/2 favourite to replace Johnson as Conservative leader, while Liz Truss, who has backed her colleague on social media, is 7/1 to succeed him, according to Betfair Exchange.
Betfair spokesperson Sam Rosbottom said: “Boris Johnson will face a Vote of Confidence from his Conservative MPs today after the motion was triggered this morning. The Prime Minister, who was booed during a service for the Queen’s platinum jubilee on the weekend, is 2/5 to win the Vote of No Confidence, like his predecessor Theresa May did in 2018, however, he is odds-on at 5/6 on Betfair Exchange to leave No 10 this year.
“Jeremy Hunt is the 9/2 favourite to replace Johnson as Conservative leader with Liz Truss 7/1 and Tom Tugendhat 8/1.”
