Following the surprise resignations of Chancellor Exchequer Rishi Sunak and Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Sajid Javid, which precipitated a wave of more than 50 resignations by MPs and other government officials, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced he would resign on Thursday.
Why Did Johnson Resign? Recent scandals involving the prime minister have included allegations of squandering public funds, his alleged pursuit of a lucrative government position for his then-mistress, and his protection of allies who were believed to have acted irresponsibly.
