Boris Johnson will face a confidence vote in his leadership of the Conservative Party after enough MPs submitted letters calling for a contest.

It will take place between 6pm and 8pm this evening in the House of Commons and an announcement is expected about an hour after the vote closes.

After months of speculation, it has been confirmed that at least 54 MPs - 15% of Tory MPs - have written to the chair of the 1922 Committee, Sir Graham Brady, calling for a vote.
