After months of speculation, a vote of no-confidence was held today for prime minister Boris Johnson in the UK’s parliament.

After 359 ballots having been casted, 211 MPs have voted in favour of the prime minister, just 33 shy away from the target for ousting him.

This came in light of faltering confidence numbers across the country, and leaks of the figurehead attending parties during the notorious 2020 lockdowns in the Kingdom.∎
