Boris Johnson to resign as prime minister
Boris Johnson will resign as prime minister as he finally bows to the pressure of swathes of government resignations. Boris Johnson has said he will carry on until the fall when a new leader will be chosen. His grip on power began slipping last month following a narrow victory in a no-confidence vote. Two top cabinet ministers, Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Sajid Javid, resigned in protest at his handling of allegations of misconduct.
