Despite the cascading scandals, Boris Johnson resisted for a long time. But let go by his own camp, the whimsical man had to resign himself to resignation, Thursday, July 7. “It was about time. Have you ever seen someone so arrogant, ignorant, delusional? The list goes on”, says a resident of London (United Kingdom). The blunder too many was the appointment of a minister accused of sexual assault a few days ago.

It follows a series of scandals, including that of illegal parties given in full confinement. All these lies have resulted in a wave of resignations from his ministers, including that of Health, Sajid Javid. Officially, Boris Johnson remains at the head of the government until the Conservative Party finds a successor. An interim that the Prime Minister would be assured until October, but some voices within the majority are already rising to demand his replacement as soon as possible.
