Boris Johnson is facing a new plot to oust him, as Conservative rebels launched a push to change party rules in order to hold another vote on his leadership.
MPs who want to remove the prime minister are seeking election to the 18 most senior posts on the 1922 Committee, which dictates how to conduct confidence votes in Tory party leaders, UK media said Friday.
Currently, Johnson is protected from another leadership vote for a year, after winning a poll earlier this month – despite 41% of Tory MPs voting for his removal.
