Tory MPs due to vote on Boris Johnson's future as leader

Jesse Norman MP, a long-standing supporter of the PM, speaks to Today's Justin Webb

Conservative MPs will hold a confidence vote in Boris Johnson's leadership on Monday night, amid a backlash to the Partygate scandal. The vote was triggered after at least 54 Conservative MPs asked for it and now at least 180 Tory MPs need to vote against Mr Johnson to remove him as Prime Minister.

Today's Justin Webb speaks to former minister Jesse Norman, MP for Hereford and South Herefordshire. He has previously been a long-standing supporter of Boris Johnson, but withdrew his support in a letter which was shared on Twitter on Monday morning.
