British Prime Minister Boris Johnson faces a crunch Conservative Party confidence vote after 54 of his Tory MPs triggered a leadership contest
"In accordance with the rules, a ballot will be held between 1800 and 2000 today," he said, noting the votes will be counted immediately afterwards and an announcement then made "at a time to be advised".
Brady told reporters that Johnson was informed last night - as four days of national celebrations for Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee ended - that the threshold to trigger a vote had been reached. The Downing Street spokesperson added: "Tonight is a chance to end months of speculation and allow the government to draw a line and move on, delivering on the people’s priorities".
