Boris Johnson announces he's resigning as Conservative party leader

Johnson has faced calls to resign as prime minister amid deluge of scandals. He says he will remain as PM until his Tory party elects a new leader.
“It is clearly now the will of the parliamentary Conservative Party that there should be a new leader of the party and therefore a new prime minister,” he said outside Downing Street.
Johnson said the process of choosing the new leader should begin now and the timetable will be announced next week.
