The embattled Boris Johnson will today step down as Prime Minister after years of scandals, gaffes and rule-breaking behaviour.

The leader of the Conservative Party will officially step down two days after his ministers Sajid Javid and Rishi Sunak sparked a series of abrupt resignations when they told him they were stepping down because they had lost faith in his direction.

Mr. Johnson, who became the first sitting prime minister to face police action when he was fined for attending a rally during the strict Covid lockdown, has clung to power despite more than 50 resignations from his own party.

His previously loyal MPs turned on him after it emerged Johnson had appointed Chris Pincher as Deputy Chief Whip after allegations of inappropriate behavior against him.
