BREAKING: British media say Prime Minister Boris Johnson has agreed to resign, ending an unprecedented political crisis over his future.
Johnson had rejected clamors for his resignation, digging in his heels even as dozens of officials quit and previously loyal allies urge him to go after yet another scandal engulfed his leadership.
It is rare for a prime minister to cling on to office in the face of this much pressure from his Cabinet colleagues. The Guardian’s frontpage on Thursday called him “Desperate, deluded.” Johnson, 58, was known for his knack for wiggling out of tight spots.
