Prime Minister Boris Johnson should withdraw his resignation as 85% of people still want him to lead the country, according to a new poll. Mr Johnson stepped down as leader of the Conservative Party on July 7 and will resign as Prime Minister once a new leader has been elected on September 5.
The resignation came after around 60 people quit senior positions in Mr Johnson's Government amid anger over honesty and integrity surrounding everything from Partygate to senior appointments. Either Rishi Sunak or Liz Truss will be the next Prime Minister.
More than 7,600 Conservatives have now signed a petition calling for a vote on whether Mr Johnson’s resignation should be accepted.
