He led the UK out of Europe. He was on the fore front leading the campaign against Russia during its invasion of Ukraine. However, locally and very much at home, the British people decided it was time for their PM Boris Johnson to go.
He survived a vote of no confidence recently after he was found culpable for hosting parties during the lockdown whe Covid-19 pandemic struck. Prime Minister Boris Johnson was fined by the police for this, yet he won’t go, he kept saying, "I will continue doing the things that matter to our country".
Then his Ministers, 50 Conservative Mps all resigned saying they had lost confidence in him. Surely Boris had no leg to stand on. He has now finally decided to resign but he says he will stay on until another leader of the conservative party is elected.
Opposition leader Labour’s Keith Stammer says that he will call on vote of no confidence in the House of Commons if Boris stays on.
“We cannot go on with the Prime Minister clinging on for months and months”, He said.
Boris has made new appointments to the Cabinet to replace those Cabinet Secretaries who had resigned.
On his part, Boris said that he fought to continue not just because he wanted to but it was his duty. He cited leading the country out of Europe, out of Covid-19 pandemic and leading the world against Russian President invasion on Ukraine.
“I’m sad to be giving up the most important job in the whole world” He said.
