UK PM Johnson to resign on Thursday: BBC
BRITISH Prime Minister Boris Johnson will resign on Thursday (Jul 7), several media outlets including the BBC reported.
Johnson had been hanging onto power despite the resignation of a string of his top ministers. On Thursday, the man he appointed as finance minister less than 48 hours earlier publicly urged Johnson to go.
Defence Secretary Ben Wallace also called on Johnson to quit but said he would stay in his role to protect national security. REUTERS
