U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has survived a vote of confidence triggered by his own lawmakers amid increasing dissatisfaction in his leadership.
The confidence vote was triggered after 15% of Conservative lawmakers submitted letters of no-confidence to Brady.
Johnson's public standing has been a source of concern for many Tory MPs and public sentiment toward the prime minister has become more negative since the"partygate" scandal. Tory MP John Penrose on Monday resigned as the prime minister's anti-corruption tsar, saying it was"pretty clear" the prime minister had broken the ministerial code over the"partygate" scandal. Former Health Minister Jeremy Hunt, meanwhile, indicated he would be voting"for change."
