Boris Johnson Refusing to Resign

In the wake of 14 government ministers resigning, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson “is holding firm and refusing to quit despite calls from several key cabinet colleagues for him to go,” the BBC reports.

Johnson is insisting that he wants to continue to focus on the “hugely important issues facing the country.”

The Daily Mail reports Johnson is arguing his resignation would cause “chaos” and would see the Conservatives fall to “almost certain” defeat at the next election.

That’s likely to result in more resignations tonight.
