Council leader demands to know how his local MP voted in Boris confidence vote

By Deborah Bowyer 7th Jun 2022

Cheshire East Council's leader and leader of the Labour group, Cllr Sam Corcoran, has urged Congleton MP, Fiona Bruce (pictured above), to come clean and say how she voted last night.

Cllr Corcoran, Leader of Cheshire East's Labour Group and a Cheshire East Councillor for Sandbach Heath & East (a seat he won for Labour defeating a sitting Conservative councillor) said: "I expect my MP to speak out to uphold high standards of integrity.

"Two hundred and 11 Conservative MPs have tonight accepted that a lack of integrity is no bar to being a Conservative leader. 

"I am sickened to know that my MP could be one of them."

Nub News immediately emailed Fiona Bruce following last night's decision and is awaiting a reply from her.

In the confidence vote last night (June 6), the PM won the ballot among Conservative MPs.

With 359 ballots cast among Conservative MPs, 211 Tory MPs came out in favour of Johnson, with 148 registering no confidence in their leader. A majority of 63 - meaning 41 per cent of Tory MPs have no confidence in Johnson.
