Jacob Rees-Mogg told Theresa May she had his 'confidence' tonight after she saw off his attempt to oust her has Tory leader.
The Brexiteer ringleader launched a faltering coup against the Prime Minister last month and finally secured his vote of no confidence last week.
But she won the dramatic showdown by 200-117 - giving her 12 months where her MPs cannot oust her.
Mr Rees-Mogg has been ridiculed since the failed putsch and in the immediate aftermath demanded she still go to the Queen and resign.
But in the Commons today he offered congratulations to the Prime Minister for clinging on.

In the Commons today he offered congratulations to the Prime Minister for clinging on (she is pictured back at the Despatch Box this afternoon)
He praised her for 'winning the confidence of the Conservatives in this House last week'.
Mr Rees-Mogg insisted he wanted to 'assure her that she therefore commands my confidence too'.
He said he did not back another referendum, saying it was 'better known as the losers' vote', saying that it would be 'undemocratic' and 'divisive'.
Moments after the no confidence vote was declared by Sir Graham Brady last Wednesday night Mr Rees-Mogg said the result was 'terrible' for Mrs May.
He told the BBC: 'She ought to go and see the Queen urgently and resign.'
Mr Rees-Mogg's contrition came as Mrs May dug in her heels and insisted there would not be a second referendum, a vote on her Brexit deal before Christmas or an extension to Article 50.
The PM faces her fractious Cabinet tomorrow to discuss preparations for no deal amid deep splits over the way forward if and when her deal is defeated.
The PM said she is still hoping to secure more 'political and legal assurances' from the EU on the Irish border backstop, and as a result the showdown in Parliament will not take place until the week commencing January 14.

Appealing for MPs to get behind her plan, Mrs May said European counterparts had made clear 'they do not want to use' the insurance policy in the agreement.
She also delivered a stinging rebuke to those calling for a second referendum, saying it would only lead to 'disaster'.
The defiant statement to the Commons comes as Mrs May wrestles to stop the Cabinet descending into chaos, with ministers openly floating alternatives to her Brexit plan.
Work and Pensions Secretary Amber Rudd today risked directly contradicting the PM by insisting 'nothing should be off the table' if the government's plan is rejected by the Commons.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
