Best 20 reactions about PM facing a confidence vote this evening

"All we had to do was boo him?"

A Cabinet ally of Boris Johnson said there was a “very well-organised” campaign to oust him despite a lack of evidence for the claim.

Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries said anyone denying a co-ordinated plot was “not telling you the truth”.

But Sir Graham Brady, chairman of the backbench 1922 Committee which oversees the confidence vote process, said he was “not aware of any orchestrated campaign”.

The whole process will be overseen by Sir Graham Brady, chairman of the 1922 Committee, who said he runs a “tight ship” – he was also in that position when Mrs May faced the same ordeal during her turbulent leadership.

The PM reminded Conservatives that “under my leadership” the party had won its biggest electoral victory in 40 years.

He warned them that Tory splits risked the “utter disaster” of Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour entering Downing Street, propped up by the SNP.

“The only way we will let that happen is if we were so foolish as to descend into some pointless fratricidal debate about the future of our party,” he said, according to briefed extracts of his speech to the private meeting of Tory MPs.

In his separate letter to Conservatives, Mr Johnson said: “Tonight we have the chance to end weeks of media speculation and take this country forward, immediately, as one united party.”

9pm

A No 10 spokeswoman 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.

“The PM welcomes the opportunity to make his case to MPs and will remind them that when they’re united and focused on the issues that matter to voters there is no more formidable political force.”

MPs will file through the committee room between 6pm and 8pm to vote with the ballots then counted by the officers of the 1922 Committee.

The Prime Minister will be informed of the result shortly before the formal announcement, which will be made just down the committee corridor in Room 14 at 9pm.

Reactions

So what have people been saying about this today?

1.

Nothing like a Tory coup to jolt us back into reality after four days of ‘being the envy of the world’

2.

It's an interesting semantic question. Even if you like, adore and worship Boris Johnson you can't seriously have any "confidence" in him. Boris Johnson doesn't trust Boris Johnson

— Barney Ronay (@barneyronay) June 6, 2022

3.

The magpies in the garden are shouting so loudly I can't hear the radio. I gather Boris Johnson is facing a vote of confiture. He must be in a jam.

😎 Win-Win 😎

Either they remove Boris Johnson from office, or a majority of Conservative MPs go on record as supporting a criminal prime minister! 😍#VONChttps://t.co/9T5CcFZmFm

Rather ironic that Tory MPs are now going to vote on whether Boris Johnson should leave or remain 😉

Boris Johnson got the big calls right, like when he threw the UK into years of hatred and division so that we could change the regulations on hoovers.

After Graham Brady receives the 54 letters required to trigger a confidence vote in Boris Johnson, Nadine Dorries insists most of them are letters of support.

Wondering if Boris Johnson loses the vote of no confidence he will still find a way not to resign. What I'm saying is I have no confidence in the vote of no confidence.

— David Baddiel (@Baddiel) June 6, 2022

And then there is this…

These are the foodbanks that now exist in Britain.

Boris Johnson and the Conservative government are responsible for this pervasive poverty.

And I have no confidence in him, or any Conservative MP, to tackle this social injustice. #NoConfidence pic.twitter.com/wDVuxlstdr

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
