Members of 1922 Committee to consider changing leadership rules as soon as Wednesday night, the Guardian understands
Boris Johnson could face a confidence vote within days as members of the Conservative backbench committee will consider changing leadership rules as soon as Wednesday night, the Guardian understands.
Two executive members said it was possible that the 1922 Committee could decide to change the rules to allow a confidence vote to take place at the meeting of the executive on Wednesday afternoon. Johnson is protected by the current rules, which do not allow a vote for another year after he won a snap vote a month ago.
