Theresa May was backed by a margin of 200 to 117 in a Tory no-confidence ballot, staving off what would have been an ignominious end to her time as leader - and meaning she cannot be challenged by her own party again for 12 months. There were cheers as 1922 committee chairman Sir Graham Brady announced the result in the Commons (pictured inset). But with more than a third of Conservative MPs refusing to support her and a civil war raging over Brexit, the outcome still underlines the scale of the problems Mrs May (pictured in Downing Street tonight) faces. The result was announced after she delivered an emotional final message to MPs packed into a Commons committee room, acknowledging widespread unrest with her Brexit strategy. But she appealed for more time to strike a settlement with the EU that they can support. Some MPs at the behind-closed doors session wept as she confirmed she will bow out gracefully once that task is complete. The 317 Tories then spent two hours voting in the no-confidence contest, before the premier learned her fate. Boris Johnson was tight lipped as he turned up to vote. The ballot was held after hardliners finally secured the 48 letters from MPs needed to trigger the process. Allies insisted earlier that Mrs May would fight on even if she only won by a single vote. And despite claims from Eurosceptics and Labour that the result was 'shocking' and a 'disaster', Cabinet ministers queued up tonight to try to talk up the positives. Jeremy Hunt said her 'stamina, resilience and decency' had 'again won the day', while Treasury minister Liz Truss said it was 'convincing'.
