Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has urged for a ‘proper change of government’ following the announcement that Boris Johnson has agreed to step down as Prime Minister.
In a statement on social media, Sir Starmer said Mr Johnson's resignation was 'good news for the country' and hoped the decision would lead to a ‘fresh start for Britain’. The Labour leader also said the Tory government has ‘inflicted chaos’ on the country.
Sir Starmer said: “It is good news for the country that Boris Johnson has resigned as Prime Minister. But it should have happened long ago. He was always unfit for office. He has been responsible for lies, scandal and fraud on an industrial scale. And all those who have been complicit should be utterly ashamed.
