UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson vowed to get on with the job as he faced MPs for the first time after winning a confidence vote within the ruling Conservative Party.

Johnson survived a vote of confidence on June 6, with 211 Conservative MPs backing him and 148 wanting him to step down over the partygate scandal. Following the vote, the prime minister called the results “convincing” and “decisive.”
