CNN
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson resigned on Thursday. Here's his statement in full.
Good afternoon, everybody. Good afternoon. Thank you. Thank you. It is clearly now the will of the Parliamentary Conservative Party, that there should be a new leader of that party and therefore a new prime minister, and I've agreed with Sir Graham Brady, the chairman of our backbench MPs, that the process of choosing that new leader should begin now, and the timetable will be announced next week.
And I have today appointed a cabinet to serve -- as I will -- until a new leader is in place.
