Apparently he will stay on until fall.
Boris Johnson resigns, remains U.K. prime minister for now
LONDON (AP) — Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced his resignation Thursday after droves of top government officials quit over the latest scandal to engulf him, marking an end to three tumultuous years in which he tried to bluster his way through one ethical lapse after another.

I doubt he will. There is enough pressure on him to disappear far deeper than Jimmy Hoffa.
From what I gather, he is deeply unpopular within the party. No doubt they want him excised as soon as possible to right the ship.

Deeply unpopular with them, yet they knowingly elected a well known trainwreck...

He's pulled a Jason Kenney.

Yes, Labour says they will but it seems very unwise to me - if Boris lost there would need to be an election and most Conservatives do NOT want one as they will probably lose. They might 'hold their noses' and vote confidence. Boris would doubtless then maintain he HAD confidence.....

Britain is melting!
Temperatures there may crest 40 degrees Celsius (before factoring in humidity); with a temperature at midnight tonight forecast to be 29 degrees.
The high temperatures, as one expects are causing serious problems, as they have and would here.....
But where here, many renters/tenants lack central a/c and some lack any at all; the majority of British homes, offices and schools all lack a/c.

Contemplate for a moment that London's latitude is north of Calgary's........ and it (the UK) benefits from being surrounded by water in terms of temperature moderation.

All the heat and humidity must be making a mess of Johnson's coiffure.

Well, I can't imagine how unpleasant the Underground will be.

I can only imagine. Years ago, I would occasionally take a very early subway to Union from McCowan in the summer and surmised they were transporting fish in the overnight hours.

There would be no difference - I don't think he's used a comb in his life.

My point entirely.
