KUALA LUMPUR – British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced his resignation today, paving way for a successor to replace him in the coming months.


Johnson made the announcement during a press conference outside 10 Downing Street, saying he was also stepping down as the Conservative party leader.

“I will remain in office until a new leader is determined,” he added.

Johnson relented to calls for him to step down after enduring more than 50 resignations from his government.

They include Northern Ireland minister Brandon Lewis, who today became the fourth minister to resign, writing in a letter published on his Twitter account that Johnson was “past the point of no return”.

The Conservative leader had yesterday defiantly responded to calls from his loyalists and cabinet colleagues to step down by sacking minister and former top ally Michael Gove. – The Vibes, July 7, 2022

  1. Too kind to this Yankee puppy.

    He should stay on to see the soon collapse of that pommie flag, under his continuing upholding of the spurious 'gentlemanship'.
