The government of the United Kingdom led by outgoing Prime Minister Boris Johnson has received a vote of confidence. This was reported by SkyNews.

While the contest for prime minister is underway, MPs also debated in the House of Commons over confidence in the government.

Labor insisted on a vote of confidence in the performance of Boris Johnson and his team last week, and that he was allowed to remain at number 10, despite a series of resignations of his own ministers.

Johnson's government was blamed by Labour for the failure of social support, while the Conservative recalled the effective fight against COVID-19 and Brexit.

After 5 hours of debate, MPs voted 349 in favor and 238 against.

Recall that in the United Kingdom the third stage of voting for the position of Prime Minister of the country was held.
