this raises questions on how boris johnson can govern and pass legislation through the house of commons he survive this? tim: it certainly was a blow. it was a much bigger blow than johnson had hoped. i'm not sure it will be impossible for him to get legislation through, but it clearly is a blow to his authority. with by-election's coming up at the end of the month, i don't think this story is altogether over. and if the conservative party loses those by-elections as badly as they are expected to, there will be renewed pressure on boris johnson to go. so i don't think the story is over yet. tom: the by-election certainly important as we look ahead to what could be the next catalyst for the fate around the prime minister. when it comes to the arithmetic of the politics in westminster, 148, to what extent does that galvanize the rebels going forward, tim? tim: many of those who voted for johnson probably did so because they feared any kind of chaos that might ensue were he to leave. perhaps some of them also wanted to hold onto their jobs and were worried about that. but some of those peo

freddie, explain how bad this was for boris johnson.e is clearly very wounded and there are still those reb els wo want to finish him off. that could potentially still happen, couldn't it? >> yes, i think it really could. i think it was pretty bad. it wasn't a disaster, he doesn't lose, but it was higher as i understand it than team boris was thinking. so it is quite a serious wound and i think potentially it could be fatal if you look historically, leaders who have those types of votes of confidence go against them or go that narrowly for them don't survive very long. thatcher didn't survive very long, theresa may didn't survive very long after similar votes. so i think it is looking pretty bad. you cakcan't ever put anything t boris johnson because he is the ultimate escape artist as you suggested. but there is a broader crisis, an economic crisis that will be very hard for him to turn the ship around, turn his government around when he is facing this bigger economic crisis on top of the partygate scandal and lingering resentments ove

teresa bay had a smaller rebelling then boris johnson had last night, and boris johnson had more rebels than his working majority pre-vote. it is likely his legislative agenda is going to be difficult to get through now. alix: talking about cabinet members, did we get a sense all of his cabinet will be sticking behind him? lizzie: they say publicly they well, but who knows how they voted? even some of those names are circulating with growing intensity, such as the foreign's equity -- foreign secretary. also some old names, tom took in heart, who has not had a senior government role. exactly. guy: in terms of what this means for policy, always starting to get an idea? the prime minister talked about leveling up, but we don't know what it means in terms of triggering article 16. does he deliver red meat to the tory faithful? is that going to be the policy here and is it going to be that policy ahead of stabilizing the economy? lizzie: what is interesting is how divided the rebels were last night -- and that is why we had a surprise we had a vote yesterday, because it is not just one facti

this cynical answer is that boris johnson _ cynical answer is that boris johnson staying on as prime on as prime minister is serving a political purpose _ minister is serving a political purpose for them. really, minister is serving a political purpose forthem. really, if minister is serving a political purpose for them. really, if i was _ purpose for them. really, if i was advising them i would desperately want him to stay on because — desperately want him to stay on because it seems to be working for the — because it seems to be working for the lib— because it seems to be working for the lib dems at the ballot box — for the lib dems at the ballot box as— for the lib dems at the ballot box. as ayesha was saying earlier, _ box. as ayesha was saying earlier, the answer is he must io earlier, the answer is he must go and — earlier, the answer is he must go and is _ earlier, the answer is he must go and is a _ earlier, the answer is he must go and is a disgrace to the country _ go and is a disgrace to the country. if you are the liberal democrats or labour what you want _ democrats or l

or boris johnson. they misfired on monday, because although they got many more than expected to, they got many more than expected to, they got many more than expected to, they got 148, two voting is boris johnson in that confidence vote, the anticipation was it was going to be around 120, they did not dislodge him, and there is no mechanism at the moment people in westminster parent for to lead another vote. there's been talk of changing the rules so that may be borisjohnson would face another confidence vote within a year, because at the moment it has to be immunity from a challenge for 12 months, but what the reporting is that there might be a bit of a loophole where you could get local conservative party chairs to actually express concern, they can hold a general meeting, and vote against the prime minister —— what the i is reporting. that is a bit of a loophole. he was threatened against theresa may by, of all people, jacob rees—mogg. it would be really interesting if that goes anywhere. the other

that does not mean boris johnson will automatically have to step down.is predecessor theresa may survived this stage. it will take 180 votes to oust boris johnson. but it reflects how far he has fallen. we saw the boo's as he went up the stairs for the queen's jubilee service. that is not the reception other prime minister's previously received. and this is all because of the party gate scandal and cost-of-living crisis. francine: and it's amazing for a confidence bout to be triggered, 54 letters, it did unravel quite quickly. if he has a thin majority, is that almost as bad as not winning it? >> even though she won another boat, she decided to step down six months later because she was so weakened by that vote. the other test up boris johnson's reputation will be the bye elections on june 23rd. the incumbent mp's have had to step down, one from a conviction for sexual assault, the other neal parrish being found watching pornography in the house of commons. and if boris johnson loses those bye elections, it will look even worse. but it may be able that h

there is also the question about boris johnson character. all of these things have come together in the straw that broke the payables back came monday morning, we crossed the 50% threshold and johnson is in trouble. alix: we appreciate it. guy: i am very happy to thank joe. you can thank joe. carry-on. alix: joe, thanks. joining us for more is john curtice, professor of politics at the university of strathclyde. thank you for joining us. by your account, how close but the vote be? john: what way of looking at it as if more than 100 conservative mps voted against mr. johnson that would be relatively bad news. if it hands north beyond 120, that would be an indication his position is weaker than that of theresa may when she was challenged by a similar procedure in december 2019. as far as voters are concerned they have not learned anything new in the last 24 hours they did not know already. a couple of instant polls we have had asking whether or not the prime minister should resign are roughly the same numbers we were getting a week ago, around

it is dire for boris johnson. it is great news for those opposition parties who want to face boris johnson at the next election, but want him wounded and he is wounded. but unlike theresa, maybe even like margaret thatcher voice johnson has proven himself to be an expert at spinning things in his favor. what's he going to do with this is going to come out and say, are one is going to say one here they, they said before the, even if it's just by one vote, he has one. we will put it behind him. however, they would know they would not have wanted these numbers. it is a, you know, he has exceeded, he's got a confidence, but such a divided party here. and somehow he has got to go forward with them for another year, 2 years. it's that the next election in the u. k. is supposed to be in 2024. so 2 years of this divided party. if you're going to be able to get important votes through parliament, all these and p is now going to vote against him. and this is very, very difficult for, i mean, how can he wheeled any power wit

this case with boris johnson, it's not that.s mostly because of what's being perceived by the people of this country and the law, the first ever prime minister to be accused by the police of actually breaking the law. but in any event, about a personal failing, about an honest issue, about integrity, and that is being matched by what the people say. you just put up that poll. it is something like six in ten british adults want the conservative mps to vote boris johnson out of office. now, in context, as bianca and you were discussing, we will know how many vote yay or nay, and to be honest, the analysts, mps, the mood is grim because no matter what happens it is the beginning of a slippery path out. most votes of confidence, even if they have been won have lost the prime ministership of the particular leader in weeks or mons. i months. the party won't have confidence in him, what about upcoming elections, and that's kind of the context we're seeing it in now. >> beyond the uk what is the impact for the u.s., the rest of the worl
