British PM Boris Johnson as Agreed to Resign

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson agreed to resign on Thursday after great pressure as more than 50 politicians have resigned from his government within the past 48 hours.

Johnson will resign as the Conservative leader but continue to serve as the prime minister until the party elects a new leader.

A statement from No 10 said: “The British prime minister will make a statement to the country today (Thursday).”

With eight ministers, including two secretaries of state, resigning in the last two hours, an isolated and powerless Johnson was set to bow to the inevitable and declare his was stepping down later, media reports said.
