The cheeky little engine who thought he could.😂

[judithwake]

The guy has no honor or he would have behaved honorably.

[placeswelive]

Maybe he will have enough time now to comb his hair.

[nicbongo]

Can someone please do a parady of this, talking about all his monstrous failures.

[danyb]

Now if Justin Trudeau could just follow his lead…

[stephaniemurray]

He hasn’t resigned then if he’s still leading until a replacement

[Skipidy]

Dark days ahead for the UK I fear the next PM will be worse

[xxoo-lpvc]

Donald Trump -->Scott Morrison -->Boris Johnson. Next is "Justin Trudeau" ? "Joe Biden"

[exoticfruitsuk]

Well done Boris, the country has never been in a better 😒

[c.w.simpsonproductions]

I don't think there's been a more spectacular downfall since Thatcher.

[vladislavvelkovski]

Great news, now we have to wait for the midterms for the world's economy to start stabilizing

[rychyst.vincent]

Calling on the British! What stiff upper lip posture did you use to get Boris to resign over his foibles as Prime Minister of a kingdom? Clarence Thomas’ traitorous Ginni doesn’t seem to be a dire enough for him to “exist, stage left”?

[lifeofleah]

BJ is not uk main problem, problem continues...

[extraordinary.verses]

In the current times, UK needs sb similar to the iron woman..

[mosesagabon]

Why is he being witchhunted? Can anyone explain.

[RM-cibe]

He did his best but UK has been on its downward spiral way before boris came along

[_permem]

Cool. Will this facilitate the release of Julian Assange?

[theequalizer]

He could rugby tackle like no other politician.
