SKIPTON and Ripon MP Julian Smith is keeping quiet about the way he voted in Monday's parliamentary vote of confidence in the Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

When asked, Mr Smith said he preferred to keep that information to himself.

However, neighbouring MPs have been more vocal.

Keighley and Ilkley Conservative MP Robbie Moore said he had submitted a vote of no confidence against Mr Johnson which he claimed as an 'incredibly tough decision'.

Similarly, Shipley Conservative MP Philip Davies said he too submitted a vote of no confidence and was one of 148 Conservative MPs who did so.

Support for Mr Johnson, however, came in the form of Pudsey MP Stuart Andrew who said he had backed the current Prime Minister in the vote.
