Boris Johnson, 58, has indicated that his decision is effective immediately, triggering a by-election. A year ago almost to the day, the former mayor of London announced that he was stepping down as leader of the Conservative Party and, indeed, his duties.
He accused the commission of producing a report that has not yet been published, "riddled with inaccuracies and prejudices," without giving it "any formal opportunity to challenge what they say" The "list of honours" of the former British Conservative PM was published on Friday, with distinctions granted to his Brexit allies, a hairdresser, but not to his father.
