		</div><p>The future of the speaker of the US House of Representatives has been thrown into serious doubt after the chamber voted to move ahead with an effort by hard-right Republican critics to oust him.</p>
<p>The narrow outcome forced by Kevin McCarthy’s chief rival, Matt Gaetz, brought together a handful of conservative Republican critics of the speaker and many Democrats who say he is unworthy of leadership.</p>
<p>The vote was 208-218 not to table the motion, with 11 Republicans allowing it to advance.</p>
<p>By refusing to set aside the motion, the House opens an extraordinary floor debate ahead of the next round of voting.</p>
<p>It is a stunning moment for the embattled Mr McCarthy which serves as the most severe challenge yet, a potential punishment sparked by his weekend decision to work with Democrats to keep the federal government open rather than risk a shutdown.</p>
<p>The California representative insists he will not cut a deal with Democrats to remain in power.</p>
