Also to look out for is there are couple of by-elections in Tory seats later this month. It's predicted they'll now lose both

but by how much.
If Boris wins the vote today but they lose hard in these by-elections, his leadership will be called into question again and the pressure to resign (which he'll never do) will be raised again.
According to the current rules he's safe for another 12 months if he wins the vote today, but they could change the rules.
Another option is to call an early General Election which he might be tempted to do while Starmer is still under investigation by the police for having a beer with a curry while on the campaign trail. I don't think he will risk that though.
