Letters of no confidence in Theresa May: live updates

UPDATE: 48 letters of no confidence have now been reached.

It’s been four long weeks since the last rebellion against Theresa May, when the ERG and Brexiteers fell short of the numbers they needed to trigger a leadership election.

Now, it’s being reported that Tory MPs have had enough, and are once again submitting letters of no confidence to the chairman of the 1922 committee, Graham Brady. Speculation is rife that the total number of letters has already been reached this evening.

Once 48 letters have been submitted, a confidence vote will be triggered. But before them, Brady is likely to let the PM know in private first, to give her the chance to resign before any confidence vote takes place.

There is no requirement to publicly announce that you have submitted a letter, and MPs can withdraw one whenever they like, so only Brady knows how many letters are actually in his possession. However, the 29 MPs listed below have publicly declared that they have sent their letters to him.
