End of twitter post 3Grayling: Lessons for PM and partypublished at 21:17 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2018
Transport Secretary Chris Grayling says it has been a difficult day for the party but MPs have by a "substantial margin" backed Theresa May.
There are lessons for the PM and the party in the result, he says, but it was a "strong show of support".
He points out that more MPs backed the PM in this vote than did in the final round of voting in the 2016 leadership election.
Tory MP Vicky Ford says a "win is a win" and will provide a springboard for Mrs May to go back to the Brexit negotiations.

Jacob Rees-Mogg says it is a "terrible result" for the prime minister and suggests Theresa May should now consider her position.
While he accepts the PM won, he says the fact the vast majority of backbenchers who are not in government did not back her is damning.
"She clearly does not have the confidence of the House of Commons and should make way for someone who does."

End of twitter postTory vice chairman on PM's future and Brexit talkspublished at 20:54 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2018
Asked why Theresa May decided to announce to MPs she would not lead her party into the next general election, a Conservative vice chairman said: "I don’t know."
James Cleverly said the party "needed to do some work" to rebuild its relationship with the DUP, which is supporting the government in office, but opposing the current Brexit deal.
He said Mrs May was "giving it her all" when negotiating with European leaders, despite them repeatedly saying there be no changes to the deal.
Mr Cleverly said it would be a "catastrophe" if MPs stopped Brexit.
Anger over confidence vote at PM's local bowls clubpublished at 20:53 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2018
The BBC's correspondent Sarah Campbell is spending the evening at a bowls club in Maidenhead, in the heart of Theresa May's constituency.
Roger Wyatt, the Desborough club's manager, is backing his local MP, recalling her visit to the club for its 50th anniversary a few years ago.
He says the uprising against her is "totally self-interested" and that while she has not got everything right during her two and a half years in Downing Street, she has been "let down by her team".
"There are ways of doing things and I don't think a vote of no confidence is the way to go forward."
And Rashid Majid, a former mayoress of the Berkshire town, says the behaviour of rebel MPs has been "fairly appalling".
