A surrender ring, given only to “kick and scream” as they say in English: kick and scream. Moreover, with the pretense of a gradual resignation process already contested by many and at the price of a bloodbath of defections from the Conservative Party government, after the crisis sparked by the latest murderous premiership scandal that is nearing its conclusion thereafter. Three years. Surrender without institutional tears, however, is, in the end, to Boris Johnson: far from the American epilogue of that presidency of Donald Trump, whom he has sometimes referred to too simplistically as a clone of the outsider. Today’s BoJo gave in to the inevitable – at eleven o’clock and a few minutes later – and announced the step back that almost everyone, in and out of the party, was urging him to take.
Boris Johnson’s fall from Brexit to scandals
In an address to the nation, executed without tears and with an apparent effort not to deny himself, optimistic and resolute in spite of everything, he formulated the renunciation of the role of leader of the majority party, a role which he rightly earned. The seat of the 14th Prime Minister during the long reign of Elizabeth II. Although he reserves the right to remain in Downing Street – in the meantime he has reconstituted the Cabinet at least with twilight appointments – until the end of the election process within the Diocese of Conservatives who will succeed him, man or woman, at the height of an already crowded race of figures still searching for Author: That is, until September-October, thanks to Parliament’s withdrawal from the summer recess commencing two weeks later, unless the Committee of 1922, the Sanhedrin of the Conservative group in the House of Commons, finds no way to speed up the times. And to get Boris out of the number 10 at least before the fall: if not “immediately”, as they would like in the name of “the good of the country” and a minimum of stability, then many internal enemies (first of all former Prime Minister Minister John Major) and the leader of all opposition forces ; With Labour’s Keir Starmer ready to otherwise threaten an embarrassing demonstration of a no-confidence motion in Westminster against the outgoing government, backed by those like Liberal Democrat Ed Davey who have already described the “blond” as “the worst prime minister in British history”.

Having said that, he acknowledges that the conservative parliamentary group now wants a “new leader” and that “in politics no one is remotely indispensable”. So he allocate an injection to “traitors” who will “feel good” today, without exaggeration: “When the herd moves – mocked – everyone joins.” “But our Darwinian system will be able to find a new leader to whom I will give all my support,” he concluded, even conjuring an imaginary “golden age” for the island outside the European Union. A future, moreover, that others will have to perceive, if anything. While the present—along with assurances of Kyiv’s unwavering support against the Russian invasion—renewed to Volodymyr Zelensky in a recent phone call between seasoned friends with regret and mutual praise—is still marked by unknowns and fears of chaos. From the wounds inflicted by his passage, to the tail blows of a divisive Brexit, the many controversial events that have involved him, from Partigate down, in every way leave a legacy in the party as they do in the national political system.
