THIS JUST IN – Prime Minister Boris Johnson of the United Kingdom has agreed to stand down after a virtual mass resignation by members of his government.
Described as having the proverbial nine lives, Johnson failed to survive this round of political scandals, and will make an announcement of his resignation to the country shortly.
Mr Johnson spoke to Tory 1922 Committee chairman Sir Graham Brady and agreed to stand down, with a new Tory leader set to be in place by the party conference in October, a No 10 source said.
Tory MP and former Financial Secretary to the Treasury Jesse Norman confirmed Mr Johnson had resigned, saying “PM has quit”.
The decision to step down comes after more than 50 Tory MPs quit the Government in a period of less than 48 hours.
