Labour has stated that it will confirm a no confidence motion in the House of Commons if Boris Johnson remains in No 10.
Yesterday, the prime minister declared his intention to resign as Tory leader after a new candidate was selected by the party.
Labour’s deputy leader Angela Rayner told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme this morning: “We will if the Conservatives don’t get their act together and get rid of Boris Johnson, you know, he’s got no confidence of his own party.
“He’s a proven liar who’s engulfed in sleaze and we can’t have another couple of months of this, you know.

“So they do have to get rid of him, and if they don’t, we will call a no confidence vote because it’s pretty clear – he hasn’t got the confidence of the House or the British public.”
The last prime minister to be successfully removed from office via such a vote was Labour’s James Callaghan ahead of Margaret Thatcher’s 1979 election victory.
