Am I the only one who saw this and thought, “wow I admire the maturity of this man’s willingness to transfer power peacefully and according to the law” ? When did that become an exceptional quality …
@Taylor Jones didn’t they already hold that vote of no confidence and Boris squeaked by on a handful of votes?
@Myboloneyhasafirstname that vote of no confidence was for a different scandal lol.
@Chip Chiperson just to clarify there wasn’t a no confidence vote and if there had it would have been limited to Conservative MPs only. If by a fluke, Boris won that internal vote then there would have been a no confidence vote in parliament against the Conservative government he led in which all our MPs could vote. If that occurred, I suspect many Conservative MPs would probably have abstained meaning the government would lose the vote and fall. Basically you must be able to command a simple parliamentary majority to hold power, which is impossible to do when your own party no longer supports you. He lost the support of the country months ago….
What the fk are you talking about he had a no confidence vote a month ago that almost half the parliament including some conservatives voted against him barely surviving against a majority. It was tied too the state of the economy which was tanking in Britain and due to their intervention of Ukraine.
At least he has the fortitude to resign unlike our lifetime cryptkeeper politicians here in the US.
he was forced to resign

Holy sh*t, I never thought Boris would ever resigned.
I feel sad for him, not sure why🥹
@vtecharry S. You he won the confidence vote with 60 percent of his party voting for him. He’s resigning because 50 members of his government just quit and party leaders convinced him to quit.
Wow, imagine walking away from power.
He was pushed out lol
He didn’t walk away . Conservative MPs forced him to resign.
I can’t wait to use “them’s the breaks” in conversation.
I wish I didn’t have to be the one to tell you but the opportunity rarely comes up in conversation. I’m really sorry, but them’s the breaks.

for a long time i’ve thought the proper context is on the template of “dems breaks, kid”
Weird that Boris was chosen over a more qualified person, however…Its refreshing to see someone actually stepdown, and not claim it was rigged
@Jason Blaha if we impeached him he’d have to
@Salty03 Trump was impeached twice, he didn’t go.
@Salty03 Can that happen if his party is not happy with the way he is running the country ?
@Theo Pool his own party isn’t even united regarding brexit. Half of them want to reverse it. The lock downs is what ended him. The liberal policies.
As an American I’m often impressed when I see how UK politicians conduct themselves, they seem much more real/relatable and I like watching the way they debate in parliament
word has it he’s off to ukraine to fight . good on you B.
@## hitler? mao? kim jong un? stalin?
@Rick Deckard what we control over more territories than usa the commonwealth includes power in uk, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and many other countries. And your saying they don’t have much power lol. Get educated
“You have the power to let power go.” 💯

I only wish more US politicians would do the same…
At least we dont have a hereditary monarch.
@The Stock Trader who’s we?
@A l Well its weird to envy a resignation when they have an unelected house of lords and a monarch, while we have term limits on our head of state. I think we have it pretty good. In terms of anti-democracy, the British Empire was pretty up there.
there wouldn’t be a Republican party if this was the case
“In politics, no one is remotely indispensable.” Wow. A rare slice of wisdom from a politician that rings true. Ironically, had Mr. Johnson demonstrated similar wisdom throughout his tenure, he probably wouldn’t be delivering this speech today.
@Mary Ebner many of us don’t believe his COVID was as bad as it was pitched
@D.A. Oh Theresa May was Prime Minister after David Cameron resigned in 2016 when he didn’t get the result of the referendum he wanted ( or should I say he didn’t like the result that the people wanted) She spent a few years promising to get Brexit done with her slogan “Brexit means Brexit” whilst being too soft and ineffectual that the EU Commision did not take her seriously and quite frankly they were taking the P out of us. She was also a remainer.
I am not a supporter of the Conservatives but he got the job done.
On a different note, the world is in a precarious position from the threat that is Vladimir Putin. When that man escalates war and I do mean when, we will need leaders with balls of steel. Winston Churchill was not a great Prime Minister but he as a brilliant war time Prime Minister. Johnson had the same qualities.

Unfortunately that advice is not followed in the country where he penned it. Somehow the Constitution has a minimum age for Pres, but otherwise missed the target with lack of term limits and age limits. At least one amendment made for Pres to be 2 terms, but they should have fixed other positions at the same time. Unfortunately, even when the politicians change, the office staff tend to stay, and many think those staffers and the power brokers behind the scenes are where everything happens – the elected are just faces/voices.

now if only US politicians would resign so we wouldn’t have to suffer more of their stupidity and lack of accountability. If they don’t, then the people will have to force them out and bring in people with a track record of getting things done and no history of wrongdoing. I don’t care how rare that it those are the only people worthy of these positions.

@Evan Amo Perhaps not. Can we attribute the quote to him anyway?
@devinmcmanus the attribution of the quote was never important to me. I just think his assertion was ridiculous. Like, how would you prove that?
It’s a convenient sentiment for a govt thirsty for power, because who better to help even the score..
@Evan Amo Prove? lol Listern to what he actually said, it was anecdotal not scientific!
Wow in the UK they have honor to step down when it’s time, but here in the US our corrupt politicians would rather stay 60 years more then resign.
That’s one big advantage of the Parliamentary system: in the UK, we elect a party, not a leader. So when a Prime Minister proves incompetent they can be forced out by their own people.
@Celtic Cheetah america doesent have one particular leader much like yours its many different factors that lead our country mainly the three branches which in turn limit what our president can do, that fact is that those politicians in the branches literally are able to stay in their spot for so long due to voting inconsistencies and flaws is the problem I see
Imagine if he came out for his last speech with his hair all done, combed over nicely with some product in.
The ultimate last troll
I guess you could say “at least he wasn’t vain about his looks”.
Imagine a country’s leader stepping down from his position peacefully 🤔
LOL yeah. Imagine that!
if you’ll indulge the metaphor there was nothing peaceful about it! 60+ members of ones party resigning because they can no longer tolerate the leader is absolutely savage
@Doog let It goes without saying that “peaceful” in this context means the absence of physical violence
3:24 “YOURE A WANKER BORIS”
Why I love my country😂😂
also the BOOHs at 3:54 couldn’t have said it better
I totally agree with what you are saying….The fact is, BTC is the future of crypto and the questions traders ask themselves now if this is right time to invest? before jumping into conclusion i think you should take a look at things first. for the past few days the price of BTC has been fluctuating which means the market is currently unstable and you cant tell if it is going bearish or bullish. while others still continue to trade without the fear of making lose, others are being patient. it all depends on the pattern with which you trade and also the source of your signals. i would say trading has been going smoothly for me, i started with 5BTC and i have accumulated over 17 BTC in just three weeks, with the trading strategy given to me by expert trader McCord Kobe.
Trading with McCord Kobe signals completely altered my perspective on bitcoin because, despite everyone’s complaints and fears, I was able to expand my portfolio from 4 BTC to 15.3 BTC in just 7 weeks with active trading.
Sincerely speaking, I will continue to trade and stick to McCord Kobe daily signals and guides as long as it works well for me.
I have a similar testimony, with 2.5Btc, I already have 9.15Btc within 1 months since of contacting him.
Seen a lot of story about his, he must be honest and for people to talk this good about Mr McCord
Isn’t this like people who have a system to win in a casino, and they win for a time, but ultimately they lose, and then you repeat the Wall Street crash, Banking crisis etc. People never seem to learn. Human greed, and the quest for something for nothing, will finish us all. What about actually working for a living, doing something useful, what a strange idea.
This is what was said to Johnson by the other members of his party, “You can either resign now with some dignity or you can hang on and pretend you didn’t lose like Donald Trump in the States.” Can anyone imagine McCarthy or McConnell saying such a thing to Trump.
I can imagine McConnell saying it but not McCarthy. McConnell I think is not very secretive about his dislike of Trump, but hes an opportunist.
That was a pretty good resignation speech. It had a fair level of class to it and I regret that he didn’t have this type of wisdom while he was in office. When it comes right down to it though I suspect he regrets it more.
