Uncertainty over how UK confidence vote will transpire for Prime Minister Johnson

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is facing a vote of confidence later, and it's still uncertain exactly what the result might be.


Around about 120 Conservative MPs have pledged their support publicly for him.


But there have been many who have spoken out against Johnson too, including former anti-corruption tsar John Penrose - who has resigned over the past few hours.


He says "it's pretty clear" that the Prime Minister has broken the ministerial code and that he should resign.


Well, Mr Johnson is still trying to persuade Conservative MPs to support him, FSN's Olly Barratt explains what his chance of winning this vote might be.


IN: "when it comes to..."

OUT:  "... for another year."

DUR: 50
