Published 3 years, 6 months ago
Description
Boris Johnson has officially resigned as leader of Britain's Conservative Party.
He plans to remain as UK prime minister while the leadership contest is held, but this marks the conclusion of a tenure dogged by scandal.
So what was about this moment that made MPs decide enough was enough? And is there any chance that Johnson could bounce back as he has so many times in the past.
For this bonus episode, Daily Telegraph chief political correspondent Camilla Turner joins Damien for a discussion on why Boris Johnson was right when he said: “In politics, no one is remotely indispensable.”
