Boris Johnson is set to step down as prime minister after a fatal onslaught of resignations in protest over his leadership – but worried Tories have insisted that he hand over power today.
The prime minister finally agreed to resign on Thursday morning as the slew of more than 50 resignations continued, with Michelle Donelan’s departure as education secretary just 35 hours into the role making her the fifth Cabinet minister to quit. More

Good Riddance!
Too bad they don’t have another Maggie Thatcher.
Who agreed to the lockdowns and vaccine mandates and loved the power it all gave him/her while they partied without masks and demanding you wear one or you’ll kill grandma? If your mayor, governor, president, whatever loved the jackboot touch to taking your freedoms in the name of a phony pandemic, vote them out. All of them no matter their party.
BoJo: entertaining asshole.
There is no Conservative in Britain that is capable of conservative leadership. Even if one can be found, a conservative Cabinet is an impossibility.
I think the Conservatives will go full nevertrumper and capitulate to Labor, rather than grow a pair and be conservative in leadership.
Boris is what an American administration led by any Republican nominee but Trump would have looked like, but, of course, no Republican nominee but Trump could have won the presidency. Even Trump was unable to find enough true conservatives to fill the Cabinet, or even the White House staff.
Perhaps I am too kind to Trump. He very well could have become Boris. There were many times I felt he was headed that direction. He is still quite capable of doing it, if he regains the presidency. On balance, he did things and he tried to do the the best for the country. Most of the time, those actions were defined as conservative.
He’s a WEF drone. Good riddance, but they’ll probably just replace him with another one.
Tar and feather him on his way out the door. Resigning shouldn’t absolve him of his awful deeds.
First it was Brexit, now the Brits have Borxit.
FFS fix the headline. Bojo has not resigned yet! He may wait until fall. Quit with the click bait.
Ummm, LD Johnson where you getting your info from?

…and many more sources.
Now, to your point he has said that he intends to remain in office until a new Tory leader is selected. But even that is up for debate as his party wants him out ASAP.
It’s all FUBAR – my work here is finished.
So is Britain.
Britain is a constitutional monarchy. The real power is the majority party in the House of Commons.
Shifts of power occur- e.g., Chamberlian to Churchill.
I don’t see any Churchills on the horizon.
Fuck You Boris!
That Hot Wife of yours is going to Bolt within 2 years once she has to hang around you WITHOUT all the Government Perks, Caviar, Champagne & Fancy Parties.
BoJo was a man who thought hed be a Churchill
But he proved to be a hack
BoJo left his home at Downing Street in London
For a Parliamnt’ry smack
Got sacked, got sacked, got sacked
Because he judged it wrong
Get packed, get packed, get packed
Get packed before the pain’s prolonged
@Callmelennie – Taking me back to the early days of iOTW. Well done.
