- According to an update in the Guardian, The 1922 Committee has ruled out call for a fresh no-confidence vote in May, says Brady
Andrew Sparrow, an editor for the Guardian, has reported that Sir Graham Brady, chairman of the Conservative backbench 1922 Committee, spoke to ITV as he was leaving Downing Street after a meeting between the committee’s executive and the prime minister:
- “He wasn’t excessively forthcoming, but he said he and his colleagues had had an update on the talks with Labour.
- When he was asked about the “deal” with Labour, he replied: “There is, at the moment, no deal with Labour.”
- Brady was more reluctant to discuss Mark Francois’s call for a new no confidence vote in Theresa May (see 1.05pm), but eventually he said that the 1922 executive had discussed this last week and that it had “no intention of proceeding”.
- Brady says at the moment there is no government deal with Labour over Brexit.
- 1922 Committee has ruled out call for a fresh no confidence vote in May, says Brady.”
