Boris Johnson confidence vote: Which Tory MPs want the PM to go?

Boris Johnson won Monday's vote of confidence in his leadership, although by a narrower margin than he and his allies would have hoped.

Of the 359 Tory MPs in the Commons, 211 backed the prime minister, while 148 voted against him.

The vote was anonymous, so we cannot know for certain which way Tory MPs voted, but here are some of the MPs who have gone public with their opposition to Mr Johnson.

• Johnson calls Tory confidence ballot win decisive

• What happens next after confidence vote?

Jeremy Hunt

Constituency: South West Surrey

Majority: 8,817

First elected: 2005

Mr Hunt said he would be voting against Mr Johnson shortly after a leadership vote was announced. The former foreign secretary ran against Mr Johnson at the 2019 leadership contest, but lost out in the final round of voting. He turned down the chance to be Mr Johnson's defence secretary, instead carving out a role on the backbenches as chair of the Commons health committee.

Douglas Ross

Constituency: Moray

Majority: 513

First elected: 2017

The leader of the Scottish Tories, who serves in both the Commons and the Scottish Parliament, said he had not pushed for a confidence vote in the PM, but would vote against him after listening to his constituents. He previously wrote a no confidence letter in Mr Johnson in January, before withdrawing it because of the war in Ukraine.

David Davis

Constituency: Haltemprice and Howden

Majority: 20,329

First elected: 1987

A prominent supporter of Brexit, David Davis served as secretary of state for exiting the European Union under Theresa May but resigned over her Brexit deal. Speaking in the Commons in January and quoting Oliver Cromwell, he told the prime minister: "You have sat there too long for all the good you have done. In the name of God, go!"

Steve Baker

Constituency: Wycombe

Majority: 4,214

First elected: 2010

Another prominent supporter of Brexit and former chair of the European Research Group. Mr Baker previously submitted a letter of no confidence in Theresa May and backed Boris Johnson when she stood down as prime minister. In April, he expressed anger over Partygate and told the prime minister that "the gig is up".

Tobias Ellwood

Constituency: Bournemouth East

Majority: 8,806

First elected: 2005

A junior minister under David Cameron and Theresa May, Tobias Ellwood is a former soldier and now serves as chairman of the defence select committee. He said in early February that he had submitted a letter of no confidence in the prime minister.

Caroline Nokes

Constituency: Romsey and Southampton North

Majority: 10,872

First elected: 2010

Ms Nokes served as immigration minister under Theresa May. She left government when Boris Johnson became prime minister and was one of the 21 Conservative MPs who had the whip removed in 2019 for voting against the government's Brexit position. She has said she submitted a letter "a very long time ago".

Andrew Mitchell

Constituency: Sutton Coldfield

Majority: 19,272

First elected: 1987 (lost his seat in 1997 but was returned to parliament in 2001)

A former cabinet minister under David Cameron. Mr Mitchell supported remaining in the EU in 2016 and has been a key critic of Boris Johnson's cuts to international development funding. He has called Partygate "more corrosive" than the expenses scandal and said in the Commons that the prime minister "no longer enjoys my support".

Andrew Bridgen

Constituency: North West Leicestershire

Majority: 20,400

First elected: 2010

Mr Bridgen was a vocal supporter of Brexit and backed Boris Johnson in the 2019 leadership election. He has previously submitted letters of no confidence in both David Cameron and Theresa May. He submitted a letter of no confidence in Mr Johnson in January 2022 but withdrew it in March in light of the war in Ukraine. He then submitted a letter again in late May.

Alicia Kearns

Constituency: Rutland and Melton

Majority: 26,924

First elected: 2019

Ms Kearns sits on the executive of the influential backbench 1922 committee and was accused of being the leading figure in the "Pork Pie plot" to oust the PM. She confirmed publicly that she had submitted a letter of no confidence.

Sir Jeremy Wright

Constituency: Kenilworth and Southam

Majority: 20,353

First elected: 2005

Now a backbencher, Jeremy Wright previously served as attorney general and then culture secretary under David Cameron and Theresa May. He said in a statement on his website that Partygate had done "real and lasting damage to the reputation not just of this government but to the institutions and authority of government more generally". He confirmed he had submitted a letter of no confidence.
