Prime Minister Boris Johnson has at last bowed to pressure from his Conservative party and said he will resign. The Prime Minister said it was “eccentric” to change governments at this stage but “I regret not to have been successful in those arguments”.
A new Tory leader will now be elected who will replace Mr Johnson in No 10. “In politics, no one is remotely indispensable,” he acknowledged in a statement delivered from a lectern in Downing Street.
“I want you to know how sad I am to be giving up the best job in the world, but them’s the breaks,” he said. He will stay onto autumn when a new leader is elected, but could this mean the country faces another General Election soon?
