Updated: Hitchin Nub News readers react to vote of confidence in Boris Johnson and the lack of comment from MP Bim Afolami

Boris Johnson is set to face a no-confidence vote today, Monday (June 6) as a raft of Tory MPs called on him to go.

Graham Brady, the Chair of 1922 Committee - the body that represents backbench Tories - said the threshold of 54 letters seeking the PM's departure has been reached - triggering a vote of no confidence this evening.

To stay in office, Johnson needs to win the support of at least 50% of all Tory MPs plus one, totalling 180. If he does win he is theoretically safe from such a challenge for a year – although the rules can be changed.

Despite repeated requests from Hitchin Nub News, Hitchin MP Bim Afolami has refused to comment on the situation.

However, Hitchin Nub News readers have shared their views with us on social media. Here is a selection of them:
