The executive body, which decides on demands for how Tory leadership challenges are met, meets at 4pm on Wednesday in the House of Commons for a regular meeting. Three members of the 1922 executive told The Telegraph on Wednesday that a decision was likely to be made to open Mr Johnson to another confidence vote. The Prime Minister has been protected from another challenge for a year since winning the vote of Tory MPs last month under current rules, but that could change from the 1922 executive. Whether that will happen is a point of discussion by executive members that will likely take place behind closed doors at Wednesday’s meeting. Critics of the move fear it will set a bad precedent, while supporters believe it will reflect the wider will of the party. There could also be other moves in theory, such as Sir Graham Brady, the chairman of the 1922 Commission, being prompted by 1922 colleagues to tell Mr Johnson that he had lost the confidence of the party.
