Boris Johnson’s job is ‘safe’ despite Tory rebellion, Sajid Javid says

Sajid Javid has claimed Boris Johnson's premiership is "safe", despite him facing anger over a number of Downing Street parties.

The prime minister is also said to be facing a Tory rebellion, with a number of MPs believed to have submitted letters of no confidence against him.

Mr Javid, however, has pledged his support to the PM.

"Yes, I think he is," the health secretary said when asked if Mr Johnson is "safe" during an interview on Thursday morning.
