Under the current Conservative Party leadership rules, Johnson is safe from a no-confidence motion for another twelve months.

359 votes were cast in total.

The magic number was 180, and it was awfully close to that number which was required to oust him.

The result shows that about 41 per cent of MPs don’t support him.

The vote against him, 41 per cent of his party room, was higher than that registered against former PMs when they faced off challenges, including Margaret Thatcher and John Major.

Boris Johnson claims the result is a good one for him, despite winning by a narrow margin of just 63 votes.

“I’ve got many more MPs supporting me now than I did in 2019. I’m happy with that,” he says.

“We’re going to bash on; we have a huge agenda and we’re going to get it done.

“I think it’s an extremely good, positive, conclusive, decisive result which enables us to move on, to unite and to focus on delivering – and that is exactly what we’re going to do,” he said.

“I see no point in focusing on anything else; I’m certainly not interested in snap elections.”

Trump urges Putin to cease attacks on Ukraine following deadly missile strike on Kyiv, killing 12 and injuring 90.

In Short

A missile and drone attack on Kyiv killed 12 and injured 90, prompting Trump to urge Putin for a peace deal amid escalating tensions.

Ukraine seeks an unconditional cease-fire, but ongoing strikes and unacceptable Russian conditions raise concerns over future peace negotiations.

In a recent missile and drone attack on Kyiv, 12 individuals were killed and 90 injured, marking the most severe air assault this year.

U.S. President Trump responded by urging Russian President Putin to halt attacks and pursue a peace agreement. He expressed concern over the loss of life, highlighting that 5,000 soldiers perish weekly.

The attack involved over 200 missiles and drones and targeted critical Ukrainian industries. Trump’s frustration has increased as peace talks stagnate, with him also critiquing Ukrainian President Zelensky for dismissing a peace proposal that would legally recognise Russian control over Crimea.

Peace deadline

Despite Trump’s previous reluctance to criticise Putin, the attack shifted his stance. He has signaled a deadline for both Russia and Ukraine to reach a peace deal while the U.S. contemplates the extent of its involvement in negotiations.

Ukraine seeks an unconditional cease-fire, but Russia’s conditions remain unacceptable to Kyiv. A recent U.S. proposal would allow Russia to retain substantial territory and would limit Ukraine’s NATO aspirations.

Zelensky accused Russian forces of terrorism, attacking civilian areas and inciting widespread destruction, while Trump acknowledged the challenges of restoring Crimea to Ukraine.

The situation continues to escalate, with ongoing strikes on civilian infrastructure, drawing international attention and condemnation. As rescue workers clear debris from the latest attack, uncertainties remain about the future of peace talks and the safety of Ukrainian citizens.
