She says: "At last, a no confidence vote in Boris Johnson, as enough Conservative MPs have finally broken ranks with the u-turning, dithering & law-breaking. 

"Nothing official from our Cornish Conservative MPs though, as far as I know. However, it's a secret vote, so maybe they'll vote against him even if they aren't prepared to step up publicly. 

"The country needs better than Boris Johnson. He should go."

Local Labour candidate Jayne Kirkham says Boris Johnson should go.
