After the Conservatives lose two out of two seats in yesterday's by-elections, should Boris Johnson resign as PM?
The prime minister survived a vote on his leadership earlier this month, but 148 of his MPs voted to oust him, leaving him weakened. Under Tory party rules, it means that a further vote of confidence cannot be held for another year.
Other cabinet ministers have rallied round the PM, who is currently in Rwanda attending a meeting of Commonwealth government leaders. He said that was "fine" but that he would be focusing on "delivering for the people of this country". He put much of the blame on the cost of living, saying when people find it tough - they blame governments.
Cabinet ministers including Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries and Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab have given Mr Johnson their backing.
