Boris Johnson survives no-confidence vote

ADRIAN DENNIS/ AFP

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has won a confidence vote by Tory MPs.

A total of 359 votes were cast with 211 MPs voting in Johnson's favour and 148 against him.

It means he will stay in his job as prime minister.

A majority of the Conservatives' lawmakers - at least 180 - would have had to vote against Johnson for him to be removed.

Johnson secured the backing of 59 per cent of his lawmakers, lower than the support given to his predecessor Theresa May in a confidence vote she faced in 2018.
