Is to resign as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
He'll resign as Party Leader today but remain Prime Minister until the Autumn when his successor will take over.

I wonder who will take over?
Michael Gove?
Rishi Sunak?
Sajiv Javid?

He might not remain until Autumn if his party thinks it's the wrong thing to do - he might have to go immediately, with his deputy Raab standing in for the interim.

It was reported on the 26 June that Boris Johnson said he would step down as Prime Minister if he was forced to withdraw support for Ukraine and taking Britain into conflict - economically and militarily - with Russia and the evil Putin - who he later described as an example of toxic masculinity. That statement indicated that he was more interested in Ukraine and taking Britain into conflict with Russia that sorting out the numerous problems back in Britain, for which he was often the cause. However, it seems that he is now being forced to resign not for that but continually forcing cabinet ministers to lie on his behalf about the parlous way he ran his government.

I think David Cameron and Boris Johnson has been two of the very worst prime ministers Britain has ever had. David Cameron seemed decent enough until the way he introduced and handled the Brexit referendum. It later appeared he only introduced it in order to get re-elected and to prevent some sort of rebellion with the right wing of the party. That although to begin with he took a neutral stance he later revealed himself to be someone completely opposed to it and that had always been completely opposed to it. The lie was that he was taking a neutral stance to begin with. And then came Boris Johnson who it turned out in hindsight was just a political opportunist, was not really at heart a Brexiter but used it as a political opportunity to get more power. During this period we have had two of the worst opposition leaders - Ed Miliband and Jeremy Corbyn. Looking at the current quality of MP in parliament it is not clear things are going to get much better. What is needed are pragmatists and people with competence and clear talkers who don't bullshit and keep the rabid media and journalists in their place rather than sort of bending the knee to them for "good" publicity.

None of the above I hope!
They're all tarred with the same brush. Maybe someone new, who we don't know.

This present lot, like Mags said, are all tarred with the same brush.
Even worse though, can you imagine a general election being called, and the hypocrite, false Mr nice guy Starmer getting in?
I think I would emigrate.
The favourites to take over, their standings in 2016, 2019 and yesterday.

Don't know is the clear winner. As long as Don't Know is not a war-monger prepared to send Britain into economic and military oblivion against Russia (and China and India who are now being described as the new axis of evil forces - you are either against Russia or you are against us rhetoric) and stops sending UK taxpayers billions to Britain's Weapons Industries (with the political classes getting kick backs) to modernize and replace Britain's old Military Equipment while sending all the old military equipment to Ukraine to be sold on the black market, then I will be giving my vote to Don't Know.

We're down to the final two now and Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak will battle it out to become the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

It was amusing when none of the 5, on the first debate, said they would have Boris in their cabinet.
I would prefer her (marginally) but I reckon he will get it.

Neither have mentioned the levelling up promise that helped to get the Cons the northern vote in the last general election.
They pledged to plough billions into the north, as for too long we have been the poor neighbours re investment.
The mayor of greater Manchester is saying if they don't honour their manifesto promise, if they do a turnaround on what was promised, a general election should be called.
Problem with that is...Labour are just as bloody useless.

Oh me too. You know I don't trust any of them!
