he's faced a metropolitan police inquiry, faced the cabinet office inquiry, that report came out a little over a week ago and really gave a damning account of the extent of the parties and social gatherings in store. he has taken a hit within his own conservative party but also in terms of public opinion. as you saw there, the prime minister was booed as he made his way into st. paul's cathedral over the weekend for a church service to mark the queen's platinum jubilee. he has faced this increasing pressure. we have had a statement from downing street, they've said the prime minister welcomes the opportunity to really make his case to members of parliament, a chance to end months of speculation, to draw a line under the scandal. that is certainly what the prime minister hopes to do. if he does succeed in surviving this vote of confidence. typically he would have a sort of 12-month grace period where this sort of challenge couldn't be laid against him again, but we heard from the chair of the 1922 committee, he suggested that those rules could be changed, but still potential further challe
