House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy has been ousted after a right-wing revolt on his backbench.

Mr McCarthy was removed as leader of the Republican majority in the lower chamber of Congress in a 216-210 vote.

Ultra-conservative frustration over his leadership boiled over at the weekend when he struck a deal with Senate Democrats to fund government agencies.

This is the first time in US history that a Speaker of the House has been removed via a motion to vacate.
