What is Sir Graham Brady’s role in a vote of no confidence?
Conservative MPs wanting to remove their leader can do so by calling a vote of confidence in their leadership.
According to party rules, a vote is triggered when 15 per cent of Conservative MPs submit a letter of no confidence to the 1922 committee chair.
Only the chairman – currently Sir Graham – knows how many letters have been submitted, though some MPs choose to go public with their decision to submit one.
Once the threshold has been reached, Sir Graham announces that the required number has been received and that a confidence vote will take place.
The secret vote is then decided by a simple majority verdict.
On December 12, 2018, Sir Graham Brady announced that the then PM Theresa May would face a vote after the threshold was passed.
May survived despite a third of MPs voting against her, though she resigned five months later on May 24, 2019.
On June 6, 2022, Sir Graham announced that Boris Johnson would also face a confidence vote too, with a ballot to follow the same day.

Ever increasing taxation to try and fix their mistakes? Continuiosly using the NHS as a stick to beat the opposition or a classic party political paper dragon!

Billionaire globalist and altogether controversial figure, George Soros, is now the subject of a $10 billion lawsuit accusing him of being a “racketeer billionaire” for meddling in the affairs of a sovereign African nation — purely for personal reasons — in what critics say typifies his modus operandi. See what others are saying about Soros and who he is in the comments section below. FOX News reports the 86-year-old financier and manager of a global network of nonprofits will be forced by BSG Resources’ lawsuit to answer for manipulating the politics and economics of Guinea for his own benefit Despite Soros’ often contentious dealings and reputation as a pompous busybody, the filing in New York Federal Court has thus far largely escaped the spotlight. Soros, who controls a web of international nonprofits in addition to his vast financial empire, used his sway with the government of Guinea to freeze Israeli company BSG Resources out of the West African nation’s lucrative iron ore mini
