As has been observed, the votes of confidence in him in the 1922 Committee were mostly the Tory "payroll" vote (not necessarily those in paid posts, but with a job title and status because of him), and he's all but lost his backbenchers except for the usual loons.

I can't recall if there's any significant legislation to come before parliament goes on its summer hols. It would be interesting to see how far the dissent translates into votes in the House (I suspect not so much).

I wouldn't see any harm in the Opposition staging a vote of no confidence of the whole House some time soon. It would at least test the disgruntlement and degree of principle and fear for their seats among the Tory backbenchers, nothing would be lost by doing so, and I think it would largely reflect the degree of annoyance among the electorate.
