Boris Johnson and his vote of confidence

Jacob Rees-Mogg
Dec 12, 2018: “This is a very bad result for the prime minister, 117 votes against her…… much worse than she thought” 
June 7, 2022: "It was a good victory for the Prime Minister, he won comfortably and now he is getting on with business"

PMQ's tomorrow is going to be interesting.  211 votes to back him, 148 against.  The numbers cannot be directly compared to what happened with Theresa May as she did not have a huge majority, but one in four Conservative MP's do not back Boris Johnson and that proportion is even greater of backbench MP's assuming that all those who are part of government voted to back the Prime Minister.
