Britain's Boris Johnson Resigns Amid Scandal
Newsy
Johnson stepped down as Conservative Party leader but said he would remain in office as prime minister until the party chooses his successor.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced his resignation Thursday amid a mass revolt by top members of his government, marking an end to three tumultuous years in power in which he brazenly bent and sometimes broke the rules of British politics.
Months of defiance ended almost with a shrug as Johnson stood in 10 Downing Street and conceded that his party wanted him gone.
"Them's the breaks," he said.
