With over 50 members of parliament resigning from Boris Johnson's government, he has been forced to step down as the Prime Minister of the UK. Once Johnson resigned, it marked the end of his controversy-blighted leadership of the UK and the Conservative Party. As Johnson's time as the PM of UK concludes, he would become one of those PMs who spent the least time holding office post World War II.
