Congleton MP Fiona Bruce has refused to 'come clean' about how she voted in the Boris Johnson confidence votes this week.

Nub News approached the Tory MP whose constituency covers Sandbach, Alsager and Congleton, asking her to tell us which way she voted on Monday night.

But Fiona Bruce declined to say which way she voted.

"Such votes are confidential ," she told Nub News.

With 359 ballots cast among Conservative MPs, 211 Tory MPs came out in favour of Johnson, with 148 registering no confidence in their leader. A majority of 63 - meaning 41 per cent of Tory MPs have no confidence in Johnson.

The ballot came about after Sir Graham Brady, the chairman of the 1922 Committee, announced that the 54-letter threshold has now been reached. 

The threshold of 15 per cent - or 54 Conservative MPs or more - had been reached to trigger a vote of no confidence in the PM he said.

Cheshire East Council's leader and leader of the Labour group, Cllr Sam Corcoran, had urged Congleton MP, Fiona Bruce to come clean and say how she voted..

Cllr Corcoran, Leader of Cheshire East's Labour Group and a Cheshire East Councillor for Sandbach Heath & East (a seat he won for Labour defeating a sitting Conservative councillor) said: "I expect my MP to speak out to uphold high standards of integrity.

"Two hundred and 11 Conservative MPs have tonight accepted that a lack of integrity is no bar to being a Conservative leader. 

"I am sickened to know that my MP could be one of them."

It however looks like we will never find out how our MP voted on this issue.
