Boris Johnson's Resignation Sends Shockwaves Through UK Ruling Party.

Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson's sudden resignation from parliament has caused rifts within the ruling Conservative Party, with some lawmakers expressing disquiet. Johnson quit in protest against an investigation into his conduct during the COVID-19 pandemic, and his departure means the Conservatives must now fight three by-elections. The opposition Labour Party, which is ahead in opinion polls, said it relished the prospect of fighting the by-elections in Conservative-held constituencies. A YouGov poll showed 65% of Britons thought Johnson knowingly misled parliament.
