Boris Johnson has refused to quit, vowing to fight on and sacking senior minister Michael Gove who is among those calling on him to go. Follow the latest developments here.
Boris Johnson has drawn comparisons to Donald Trump through much of his ascent to the heights of British politics. Now he’s taking a page out of the former US president’s playbook in his attempt to hold onto power.If there’s one thing the former president proved in American politics, it is that norms and political traditions only matter if you acknowledge them.
