British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who announced his resignation as leader of the Conservative Party on Thursday July 7, spent three tumultuous years in Downing Street.
Boris Johnson has kept an offbeat style throughout his tenure, to be the center of attention as much as to cover his tracks. But over the months, he mostly annoyed the British. The general public had discovered it with enthusiasm when he was mayor of London (United Kingdom), and already a fan of wacky staging, as during the Olympic Games in 2012. Became Prime Minister in January 2019, Boris Johnson does not has not changed, still between communication and provocation.
With his thunderous style, he has made it a priority to sign the Brexit agreement, of which he is a strong supporter. He reached his goal in 2020, on Christmas Day. However, the Prime Minister ended up paying for his misconduct, such as the expensive renovation of his apartment, or the partygate. Illegal parties have indeed taken place in Downing Street, during confinement. Before apologizing, Boris Johnson laboriously defended himself. His popularity will not recover. From scandal to scandal, he ended up losing control of Parliament.
