Boris Johnson has resigned as prime minister, triggering a leadership contest in the Conservative Party.

He said he had tried to persuade his cabinet it would be "eccentric" to change prime minister now, but added: "I regret not to have been successful in those arguments."

And he confirmed the process to appoint a new leader would begin, with a timetable set out next week.

Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has risen up the popularity rankings amongst the party in recent months - and the latest YouGov poll of members shows him as the clear favourite for next leader.

Britain developed many of the world's o/s Leaders among them Victoria Hanover (before Winsor).
Now they produce the likes of goober Johnson.
We are in the same condition w/the likes of Biden and Trumpty Dumpty.
