British Prime Minister Boris Johnson survives confidence vote

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has survived a confidence vote that could have seen him removed from power. Despite profound discontent within his ruling Conservative Party, Johnson won a vote of confidence on Monday by 211 to 148 votes. Winning the vote means there cannot be another leadership challenge for a year, but the rebellion by 148 of his 359 Conservative Party legislators has dealt a serious blow to his authority.
