With the resignation of Liz Truss as UK Prime Minister, the political jockeying begins to select the new PM.
And Boris Johnson - Truss’s predecessor as PM who left amidst a series of scandals and disgraces - sees this as his opportunity to bring his political career back from the dead.
It’s hopefully a long shot. But politics is pretty crazy these days. So who knows. We might have an undead PM just in time for Halloween.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has resigned, following a huge swath of cabinet resignations expressing loss of faith in him.
Johnson has been a lightning rod conservative during his time in office, borrowing from Trump’s populist playbook. But he’s also been at the center of relentless scandals over illicit parties at Downing St, sexual misconduct of an ally Johnson promoted even after being aware of prior issues, manipulations of ethics rules and investigations, and more.
The conservatives lost confidence in Johnson and forced his hand to resign.
Imagine that. A scandal plagued conservative leader being held accountable by his own party? It seems downright un-American. Unfortunately.
