It comes as Prime Minister Boris Johnson (Conservative, Uxbridge and South Ruislip) faces mounting pressure over allegations he attended parties in breach coronavirus restrictions his own Government imposed in 2020.

As of Saturday, February 5, 15 Conservative MPs have written letters of no confidence in Mr Johnson, but not one of Berkshire’s six Conservative MPs are among them.

At least 54 Conservative MPs need to sign letters of no confidence to trigger a vote among the party’s MPs.

If Mr Johnson lost that vote, a Conservative leadership contest would ensue to determine who would become Prime Minister.

Yet if he survives the vote, another challenge cannot be entered until a year has past.
