Boris Johnson has made the right decision to resign. These were the strong words from a Tory MP in the area following the PM's announcement earlier today (July 7).
Boris Johnson confirmed he is stepping down as Prime Minister in an address to the nation this afternoon. It follows resignations from more than 50 members of Mr Johnson's government.
Tuesday night's shock resignations of health secretary Sajid Javid and chancellor Rishi Sunak were the first of many to follow. The Cabinet ministers resigned following the release of a televised interview with Johnson at 6pm on Tuesday evening in which he attempted to defuse the pressure around his handling of ex-deputy chief whip Chris Pincher's resignation last week.
