London — Boris Johnson is the Minister and his conservatives Legislators who resign from the British Prime Minister later Thursday after being mostly abandoned are telling politicians from all sides to quit his job immediately.

Scandal-stricken leaders are no longer suitable for governance after ministers, including two Secretaries of State, continued to resign early Thursday. The isolated helpless Johnson inevitably declares that he has resigned, preparing to bow, sources said.

His 10 Downing Street office said Johnson would later make a statement to the country, as expected after noon (8 am ET).

Johnson fought for his work for days, and after the latest in a series of scandals broke his willingness to support him, to all but a handful of allies. It was abandoned.

"His resignation was inevitable," Conservative Vice-Chairman Justin Tomlinson said on Twitter. "As a party, we need to unite quickly and focus on what's important. These are serious times in many ways."

The Conservatives are now , You need to elect a new leader. This process can take weeks or months.

YouGov's brief survey shows that among the Conservative members, Defense Minister Ben Wallace has replaced Johnson as a favorite, followed by Penny Mordaunt's lower trade minister and former finance minister Rishi.・ Snacks continued.

It was not clear whether Johnson would continue to play the role of caretaker while his successor was selected.

Many said he should leave immediately and hand over to his deputy Dominic Raab, saying he had lost the trust of his party.

Keir Starmer, the leader of the major opposition Labor Party, said he would call a vote of no confidence in Congress if the Conservatives did not dismiss him immediately.

"If they don't drive him away, Labor will step up for the national interest and bring a distrust resolution as the Prime Minister will not be able to continue to cling for months and months. Come on, "he said.

The crisis is predicted to be the weakest economy in decades, with inflation rising sharply in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. It happens when you are facing pressure. Among the major countries of 2023 except Russia.

Also, the narrow vote for Brexit in 2016 led to years of internal division and the UK's own request for a second Scottish independence referendum for the first time in 10 years. Configuration threats continue. ..

Johnson's support evaporates during the most turbulent 24 hours of recent British political history, symbolized by Finance Minister Nadim Zahawi, who was only appointed to his post on Tuesday. And asked his boss to resign.

Zahawi and other ministers went to Downing Street on Wednesday night to tell Johnson that the match was over with a senior representative of a non-government member.

Initially, Johnson refused to go and seemed ready to dig in, dismissing Michael Gove. authority.

An ally told The Sun that party rebels "must soak their hands in the blood" to get rid of Johnson.

However, by Thursday morning, a flood of resignations made it clear that his position was unsupportable.

"This is not sustainable, it only gets worse. For you, for the Conservatives, and most importantly for all countries," Zahawi said on Twitter. "You have to do the right thing and go now."

Some of the people left in the post, including Defense Minister Ben Wallace, have secured the country. He said he was only doing so because he had an obligation to keep it.

The government was facing paralysis due to the resignation of so many ministers. Despite his imminent departure, Johnson began appointing a minister to a vacant post.

"It is our duty now to make sure that the people of this country have a functioning government," said Michael Ellis, Minister of the Cabinet Office, who oversees the administration of the government. Told Congress.

From popularity to despair

Enthusiastic Johnson came to power almost three years ago, offering Brexit and relieving the fierce controversy following the 2016 referendum. I promised.

Since then, some conservatives have enthusiastically supported former journalists and the Mayor of London, while others have reserved, but usually rejected voters. I supported him because I was able to appeal to some of them. ..

It was confirmed in the December 2019 election. However, a militant and often chaotic approach to the rule of his administration and a series of scandals exhausted many of the goodwill of his parliamentarians while polls showed that he was no longer popular with the general public. I did.

The recent crisis broke out after Chris Pincher, a member of the government who was involved in the pastoral care, was forced to resign after being accused of groping for a man in a private membership club. Did.

Johnson had to apologize after it was revealed that Pincher had been briefed to have been the subject of previous sexual misconduct complaints before appointing him. He said he had forgotten the prime minister.

This is a disgusting report to a noisy party in Downing Street's residence and office, which broke the COVID-19 blockade rule and was fined by police at a rally. Followed by several months of scandals and failures, including. For his 56th birthday.

Many British are fueled, with policy U-turns, the unlucky defense of lawmakers who broke the rules of lobbying, and criticism that he hasn't done enough to tackle inflation. I'm having a hard time dealing with the increase. Food price.

"It must have happened long ago," said Labor Starmer. "He was always unfit for the office. He is responsible for lies, scandals and fraud on an industrial scale."
