U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has agreed to resign. He gave in after more than 40 ministers quit his government and told him to go

U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has agreed to resign, his office said Thursday, ending an unprecedented political crisis over his future that has paralyzed Britain’s government.

It was not immediately clear whether Johnson would stay in office while the Conservative Party chooses a new leader, who will replace him as prime minister.Minutes before the news broke, Treasury chief Nadhim Zahawi called on Prime Minister Boris Johnson to resign just 36 hours after Johnson put him in the job, while another newly appointed Cabinet minister quit her post.

A group of Johnson’s most trusted Cabinet ministers visited him at his office in Downing Street Wednesday, telling him to stand down after losing the trust of his party. But Johnson instead opted to fight for his political career and fired one of the Cabinet officials, Michael Gove, British media reported.

Last week, Pincher resigned as deputy chief whip after complaints he groped two men at a private club. That triggered a series of reports about past allegations leveled against Pincher—and shifting explanations from the government about what Johnson knew when he tapped him for a senior job enforcing party discipline.

Good riddance

The best Prime Minister Boris Johnson !

at least he didn't become a war criminal.

Maybe he saw the numbers and he's quitting before the economic collapse goes out of control.

⁉️⁉️Is it just me, or are high-profile Conservatives contributing to a playbook filled with chaos, conflict and choleric rhetoric? Seeing this on a global level. 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇧. Why?

🤣🤣🤣 In my mind all British people are a mix between Monty Python and Mr Bean.

WHY

Why can't he appoint another group of ministers?

Nigel_Farage for PM already!!

But why

He should go and party for the last time before leaving his office.

Take that Putin!
