Earlier today Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced his resignation as leader of the country and the Conservative party. Following over 50 resignation letters from MPs, including Cabinet ministers, Johnson was under pressure to step aside to allow a new leader to take over.
During his speech he said: "No one in politics is remotely indispensable." and speaking from Downing Street he thanked the millions of voters who chose him to be the next Prime Ministers in 2019.
Mr Johnson had attempted to persuade his parliamentary colleagues to stay but he failed in his arguments. A delegation of MPs, including Home Secretary Priti Patel visited Johnson yesterday evening asking him to step down, showing he had lost the confidence of the Tory party.
