Boris Johnson dramatically quit as Prime Minister today, finally admitting his authority in the Conservative Party has drained away.
Speaking on the steps of Downing Street, the PM said: “I want you to know how sad I am to be giving up the best job in the world, but them’s the breaks."
Health Secretary Sajid Javid's shock resignation on Tuesday night fired the starting gun and Tory MPs began to turn on their leader en masse over months of sleaze allegations, the PM's handling of the Chris Pincher scandal and fine over Partygate.
