What's next for UK? Boris Johnson quits as PM, but not gone yet

Boris Johnson has resigned as Conservative Party leader after months of ethics scandals and a party revolt. But he remains Britain's prime minister for now while a successor is chosen. With British politics in turmoil, here's a look at what will happen next: WHY IS BORIS JOHNSON RESIGNING? Johnson's resignation on Thursday comes after he weathered numerous scandals during a tumultuous three years in power in which he brazenly bent and sometimes broke the rules of British politics. He survived a no-confidence vote last month. But recent revelations that Johnson knew about sexual misconduct allegations against a lawmaker before he promoted the man to a senior position in his government led to Johnson's resignation. SO IS JOHNSON STILL PRIME MINISTER? Yes, for now. His resignation, which came after dozens of ministers quit his government in protest, sparks a party contest to replace him as leader. All Conservative lawmakers are eligible to run, and party officials could open the

UK political crisis deepens as PM Johnson's leadership hangs in the balance

For British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, this year has been about firefighting one crisis after the next as he once again faces a hostile crowd in the House of Commons on Wednesday. It follows a night of turmoil after his former close ally, Rishi Sunak, resigned as Chancellor of the Exchequer without mincing his words about the failing levels of competency within the government. He was joined by another senior minister, Health Secretary Sajid Javid, who stormed out as Chancellor over two years ago under Johnson's leadership but was brought back into the fold. There is no doubt that the latest developments reflect a deepening political crisis for the Conservative Party government and most believe it is a question of when rather than if Johnson, 58, will be replaced by a new leader. There is a general view that he will have to be taken out kicking and screaming, and has no plans to make a quiet exit. The Tory party has already tried once to unseat Johnson as its leader, with a vote o
