UNITED KINGDOM - Boris Johnson's most well-known achievement was uniting the Conservative Party and Brexit, where the United Kingdom exited the European Union, and he just made a speech at 10 Downing Street, posting his resignation, according to The Washington Post.
On Thursday, July the 7th, Boris Johnson, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, stepped down as Prime Minister and the leader of the Conservative Party. In addition to his resignation, came a mass exodus of MPs from his cabinet and other forms of government. In total, a grand 50+ support staff resignations have been posted in the United Kingdom's government.
Outside 10 Downing Street, the 58-year-old politician Boris Johnson, speaking to the crowd, said this:
He was not emotional and remained a statesman, nor was he apologetic for his actions that were stated as the reasons for his resignation.
According to the Washington Post, the reason for his exit from his role was his constant dodging and concealment. He has been accused of having lockdown parties during the COVID-19 lockdowns, had his apartment refurbished with government grant money, and appointed an ally accused of sexual misconduct to a government position.
There will not be an election; instead, a new leader will be elected from within the Conservative Party to replace Johnson, and Johnson will remain in power until that has been completed.
The Evening Standard has posted a list of all members that have posted their resignations.

"It is clearly now the will of the parliamentary Conservative Party that there should be a new leader of the party and therefore a new prime minister... ...As we have seen at Westminster, when the herd moves, it moves. And my friends, in politics, no one is remotely indispensable,"
