IN FULL: Boris Johnson delivers final speech as Prime Minister

Boris Johnson has delivered his valedictory speech to the nation, describing himself as a "booster rocket that has fulfilled its function".

The outgoing prime minister will now set off for Balmoral to formally tender his resignation to the Queen before Liz Truss' arrival.

"they changed the rules half way through" how bad taste considering he made the rules for us to follow and then repeatedly broke them

[richardtuxford]

Over 8 minutes of waffle, self congratulation and lies leaving a trail of national destruction in his wake. I only hope he is held to account for this one day

[garybrown]

I’ll give Liz Truss 2 years before she’s standing in this position doing her farewell speech!

[davidallen]

The fact that he is proud of what he has done is very telling and quite disgusting.

[Gwalion]

So he ends his tenure as he began it - by spouting bullshit.

[ralpha]

The worst PM ever and handed to another disaster of a PM.. its the beginning of the end for the Tories.

[Paulstrickland]

Must have been so hard after spending his career doing Jack all for anyone except himself.

[jacwindsor]

It is not a tough time for his family
He is rich

[zishi]

Straight to Ibiza now for Boris as he loves his parties. No doubt he’ll be telling the girls about the fastest vaccine roll out.

Christ, imagine the hangover he must’ve had, being up at 7:30am to talk about himself for 8 minutes straight

[Traceva]

Boris Johnson only ever served his own self interest

[pureplay]

This guy gives a whole new meaning to the word deluded.

[hughjass]

He can be Prime minister of Peppa Pig World, it's his kind of place

[stephanosuk]

WHO IS CLAPPING!!!! 🤦‍♂️
Oh his family and friends...
Definitely not the people of this struggling country.
Goodbye Boris we hoped for much more.

[ricojakkakarico-che]

So he essentially said “We’ve been responsible for the worst government policies for a century and we’re proud of the economic slavery that’s created”

[mr.coolmug]

"They changed the rules halfway through, but never mind that now." Speak for yourself.

[johnrussell]

Get behind Liz Truss. Yes, more than half the Tory MP’s are sharpening their knives right now.

[raptus]

Big speech from somebody who has left destruction in his wake, self congratulating himself whilst people will freeze over the winter.

[radol]

He couldn't resist not to lie in his final speech. What a clown!

[marcj]

One puppet goes, in steps another one with her script.
