Calls for Boris Johnson to resign are increasing but no comment has been made from local Conservative MP Cherilyn Mackrory.

Boris Johnson will face a possible vote of confidence in his leadership as MPs return to Westminster today (6th) after the half-term break.

The threshold of 15 per cent - or 54 Conservative MPs or more - has been reached to trigger a vote of no confidence in the PM after the Partygate scandal.

However, there is still no comment from Truro and Falmouth MP Cherilyn Mackrory - despite a request from Falmouth Nub News.

A ballot will be held between 6pm and 8pm this evening, Monday (June 6th). The votes will be counted immediately and an announcement will be made at a time to be advised with more details to be released later today.

If Johnson survives the vote of confidence there will be a period of a year before another ballot could be held.

The procedure means the PM was advised of the situation yesterday. It is believed that a number of Tory MPs asked that the news would be released after the Queen's Platinum Jubilee weekend.

It is not known if Cherilyn Mackrory handed in a letter, nor requested that the news be withheld until this morning.

Falmouth Nub News has contacted Cherilyn Mackrory MP for comment.
