People of Liverpool don’t hold back when asked: what do you think of Boris Johnson?

Boris Johnson is set to publicly announce his resignation as Prime Minister on Thursday.

He will quit as leader of the Conservative Party after being hit with a string of resignations from ministers and MPs.

More than 50 MPs resigned from the government or party roles since Tuesday evening (5 July), with the mass exodus being triggered by the resignations of Rishi Sunak and Sajid Javid from the Cabinet.

Mr Johnson had sought to defy his critics and remain in office, despite warning from Cabinet colleagues that this was not sustainable.

But the resignations continued and made clear his position as Prime Minister was untenable.

His resignation has been a long time coming, according to the people of Liverpool.
