British Prime Minister Johnson resigns

The scandal-ridden British Prime Minister Boris Johnson finally announced his resignation as the leader of the Conservative Party at noon on the 7th local time, but he claimed that he would continue to serve as the caretaker Prime Minister until the Conservative Party elects a new leader. Instead of admitting wrongdoing to a string of recent scandals in his resignation speech, he bragged about his achievements and said "how sad it is to give up the best job in the world". In response, many Conservative politicians expressed dissatisfaction, they believe that Johnson should leave the prime minister's throne now. Opposition Labour leader Starmer warned that Labour could hold a vote of no confidence in Johnson's government because it would be "unfair to the country" to keep Johnson as caretaker prime minister.
