Description

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced his resignation Thursday, saying his party had made it clear he should do so.“It is clearly now the will of the Parliamentary Conservative Party that there should be a new leader of that party, and therefore, a new prime minister,” Johnson told a crowd outside the prime minister's official residence and office at 10 Downing Street in London.The prime minister said he would step down as more than 50 of his ministers resigned.Among other recent missteps, Johnson was criticized for appointing a Conservative in Parliament, Chris Pincher, to a government position after having knowledge of sexual misconduct allegations against Pincher.Theodore "Ted" Bromund, a Heritage Foundation senior research fellow in Anglo-American relations, joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain why Johnson is stepping down and what his resignation means for Great Britain and for America’s relationship with the U.K.Enjoy the show!
