Kudos to you Brits, from a Yank

Yes, Boris should never have been elected (no fault of our DU Brits, of course)

Yes, Boris should have been gone a long time ago (I am sure our DU Brits can cite the reasons chapter and verse).

Yes, he lied his way through many things, including Brexit, and helped to get Brexit accomplished.

However...in contrast to my deeply dysfunctional government, he IS going, per multiple sources, at 710 AM EST.

Trump ? Psychopathic felon is STILL not in prison and will be running for President again, I am sure.

Kudos to the UK, your society, your government and you DU Brits.

eta: Oh, I see he is only resigning as Tory Party head ? Still...kudos. He's been damaged.

eta2: So he did resign as PM AND Tory Party Head, correct ?

elected Prime Minister in Parliament.

That said, Johnson is hoping to stay as PM for another 3 months but the Tories want him gone asap so they might speed up the leadership race.
