BREAKING: Boris Johnson set to resign as British PM

Boris Johnson is expected to resign as British prime minister after a series of cabinet resignations, ending an unprecedented political crisis over his future.

TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports this is coming after a dramatic number of cabinet ministers quit in rejection of the leader.

A spokesman for Downing Street has confirmed that Mr Johnson will make a statement to the British public in a matter of hours.

At least 55 government ministers quitted and several of his own cabinet members as well, including newly-appointed Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi.

Zahawi told the prime minister he must “go now” for the good of the country.

It is expected Mr Johnson will remain as prime minister until a new leader of the Conservative Party is chosen before the party conference in October.

TNG reports Johnson had been faced with a number of scandals, most notably over a string of rule-breaking parties in government buildings during COVID-19 lockdowns.
