Earlier this year, Boris Johnson made history and became the first sitting PM to break the law, proving he is no stranger to a scandal.
Over his political career there were dozens of times when the 58-year-old lied or knowingly misled the public for his own gain. He's also made a number of racist comments, including when he branded people wearing Muslim face veils as "looking like letter boxes".
Mr Johnson used a racist description of Barack Obama at the height of the EU referendum in 2016. He has faced days of pressure to quit, with an avalanche of resignations from cabinet ministers and others in government making his position impossible. Today he finally relented and announced he would be stepping down as Conservative Party leader and Prime Minister.
