Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to resign as leader of the British Conservative Party, but will continue to lead the nation until Autumn.
This was confirmed by Downing Street sources, who spoke to BBC representatives earlier today. Johnson is expected to address the nation later today.
This move will lead to summer election for Conservative Party leader, which will eventually become the new British prime Minister in October.
Johnson’s political downfall only accelerated with with the infamous ‘Partygate’ scandal and further pressure as a result of his decision to make Chris Pincher Tory vice chief whip. Pincher is currently facing accusations of indecent behaviour which many have stated is not appropriate for his role.
What do you make of this?
