Boris Johnson’s farewell speech as UK prime minister – BBC News

Boris Johnson has given his final speech as the UK’s prime minister before Liz Truss takes over the role.

In a televised address outside Downing St, the outgoing prime minister said "I am like one of those booster rockets that has fulfilled its function".

He and his successor Liz Truss will now travel to Balmoral in Scotland where Johnson will offer his resignation to the Queen who will then appoint Truss as the new PM.

God this country goes through prime minister’s like Manchester United goes through managers

[mikhailkomorovsky]

This one’s even better than the resignation speech 😂

[normanhumphreys]

"Where does Boris Johnson get all his figures from?" "A comic book." "Oh, right."

[Guesswhokk]

His 'hot air' alone could "energise" the country for years to come

[Blaize]

Good grief, did that speech have any truth in it at all? Go back to being a journalist mate.

[metalhamster]

Can't beat the British sense of humour.

The Yakety Sax Music in the background 🤣

[amandahunter]

It's sad that he actually believes he was a good PM, reeling off what he thinks are 'his' successes, while most of the country thinks he was the worst PM we've ever had.

[MsOpportunity]

We just need his speeches to give us al the wind energy we'll ever need.

When Boris says he'll support you, you probably should be worried 😂

[kysoai]

Good Boris, still looking so brilliant!

[mervinprone]

To be honest, I don’t really care if he had drinks with his staff at 10 Downing, even repeatedly. It’s not like other people in Britain weren’t doing that. The problem with him, in my opinion was the huge misinformation campaign he ran with Brexit. Just listening to him, he’s a good spokesperson. Too bad it all fell apart.

Maybe Zelensky can appoint Johnson as the governor of Snake Island???

[GamerBoyRobby]

"Neighborhood crime down 38%..."

Is that not just because we couldn't go outside lol

[abigailtyrone]

*Now with the recent economy, To get Financial FREEDOM you have to be making money while you're asleep.*

[PiperXX]

Is it just me or is Boris the only PM who hasn’t gone grey while in office!

[MariaMMCardoso]

"...and oh! I almost forgot, buy a new kettle, that will save you and the country. Now, Bye!!!"

[daystatesniper]

What this country needs are real MPs who have worked in normal jobs, firemen/women, nurses, teachers, builders, people who know what it is REALLY like to live from day to day, not Oxford educated career politicians who know sweet FA about making ends meet.

[scrubber]

The look on his face when he hears ''bye-bye baby, baby and the cheering and clapping is priceless!

[jeremysmith]

the funniest bit is he actually believes what he is saying 🤣
