British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has survived a vote of confidence within the ruling Conservative Party, with 211 MPs backing him and 148 wanting him to step down.
If more than half the party MPs had voted against him, he would have been forced to step down as party leader, and thus to also step down as prime minister.
