A total of 211 members voted for Johnson, while 148 of his own MPs voted against the leaders of the Conservative Party, giving Johnson a narrow victory with only 63 votes.
"A wounded warrior", describes The Times Johnson along with a picture of him, quite similar to that of Margaret Thatcher when she was driven away from Downing Street after she was deposed.
The newspaper The Sun led with the headline "Night of the Blond Knives" with reference to the 148 members from their own party who voted against Johnson in Monday's vote.
