Nobody is indispensable in politics, says Boris Johnson as he resigns

In announcing his resignation, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the nature of the policy is that “no one is remotely indispensable”.

“As we saw in Westminster, the herd instinct is powerful – when the herd moves, it moves. And my friends, in politics, no one is remotely indispensable.”

“And our brilliant, Darwinian system will produce another leader, equally committed to moving this country forward in difficult times,” he added.

Johnson said he will support his successor as much as he can. “To this new leader – whoever he is – I say I will give him all the support I can.”

He also addressed the British public, saying he is sad to leave the “best job in the world”.

To you, the British public: I know a lot of people will be relieved and maybe some will be disappointed too. And I want you to know how sad I am to be giving up the best job in the world.
