Boris Johnson remains UK prime minister, vote of no confidence fails
Conservative members of the House of Commons failed to put forward a vote of no confidence in UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson. 211 people voted in favor of the official, 148 voted against, writes The Guardian. At the same time, British journalists note that Johnson lost the support of most of the parliamentary party. His result was worse than a similar vote against his predecessor, Theresa May, against whom 133 MPs voted. May resigned eight months after the failed no-confidence vote. The reason for Johnson's possible resignation was the parties thrown by government members in the midst of the lockdown. In Britain, the scandal is known as “Patigate”.
