PM fields questions over leadership after by-election defeat

Boris Johnson faced an onslaught of questions over his leadership during a press conference at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Rwanda, following the Conservative Party's double by-election defeat.

The prime minister said he would not "pretend" the results were "brilliant" but dismissed suggestions his MPs back in London were plotting to oust him.
