To those who voted for him and were surprised and appalled by his actions, you have not been paying attention!!

If you vote for clowns, expect a circus

[Cornellforever]

Is he not the third British Conservative PM to resign in a row?

[kenlek]

It is impressive how sincere he seems while spouting rubbish he doesn't believe in.

[scottsleo]

The PM of Britain resigned but the speech is all about Ukraine!! He is more concern about supplying weapons and aids to Ukraine than looking at the BIG issues at home. What a good PM you got.

[amadeuslow]

well no big deal...uk is not run by this one man..but by a rather mature system

[hannah]

He’s right. No one’s indispensable! Tell that to Xi Jinping!

[edwilson]

About time...Now if we can
get the rest of them here to resign.

I’ve noticed a pattern. Elected, damage done, disappear into obscurity, next! Elected, damage done, disappear into obscurity, next! Elected, damage done, disappear into obscurity, next! Elected, damage done, disappear into obscurity, next! Elected, damage done, disappear into obscurity, next! Elected, damage done, disappear into obscurity, next! Elected, damage done, disappear into obscurity, next! Elected, damage done, disappear into obscurity, next!. Perhaps “cushy job in the EU” should be in there too.

Now he needs to be held accountable for everything he has done. Along with his buddies, Schwabs young leaders!

“cutting taxes, because that is the way to generate the growth and income needed to pay for great public services”

Is that how economics work? I thought taxes paid for public services. So how can cutting taxes pay for great public services? I think he’s trying to just say all the things people like to hear. I’m surprised he didn’t offer us unlimited cake and promise we wouldn’t gain weight.

Johnson was more concerned about ukraine rather than Uk.

[TheresaYipLF]

Not to worry. He can still be the PM of Ukraine. Zelensky will be happy

[Penaming]

Morrison now Boris. It is all falling into place now.

[justaguy]

It's like a boasting trump speech with marginally more class

[fannychoo]

Xi Jing Ping and Putin coming soon, will be their their turn.Nothing is everlasting 🤣🤣

[MrAllantay]

I hope they re-hire the hairstylist they fired for the next PM.

[chokychen]

Ia that how the economic like cutting tax which sounds benefit for public us

[jacobzaranyika]

He will have to really go now, now that I called it out.

There is another issue going on that I will ignore until further notice and evidence!

[acolytexephos]

at least he accepted his loss somewhat gracefully unlike trump

[hkccp]

Churchill was hated before WW2, it’s ok
