No-confidence vote: Which Tory MPs are backing Theresa May and which will vote against her?

Conservative MPs are dividing into two camps ahead of tonight’s vote of no confidence in Theresa May.

Cabinet ministers and loyalist backbenchers are hitting the airwaves in support of the prime minister, while Brexiteers declare they will vote against her.

However, the vote takes place though a secret ballot, meaning MPs’ public declarations count for little.

All that matters is how they vote tonight - and you can expect the final tally to differ from the numbers of those publicly expressing loyalty.

Here are the MPs saying they support Ms May, and those vowing to vote against her.
