Boris Johnson to Face Tory No Confidence Vote

The transcript discusses the no confidence vote against UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, triggered by 54 letters from Tory MPs. It highlights the public's negative reaction to Johnson, partly due to the party gate scandal and cost of living crisis. The process of a confidence ballot is explained, noting that a thin majority could still weaken Johnson, as it did with Theresa May. Upcoming by-elections in Tiverton, Honiton, and Wakefield are also discussed, with potential negative outcomes for Johnson if he loses. A grace period is expected, preventing another vote for a year.
