World Politics: Boris Johnson Bids Farewell to The House of Commons

Boris Johnson at his final weekly parliamentary address on Wednesday, he ended his last Q&A and debate session with a comment surely as unique as his truncated time on Downing Street.

He cited that “We’ve helped, I’ve helped, get this country through a pandemic and help save another country from barbarism. And frankly, that’s enough to be going on with. Mission largely accomplished,” Johnson said. “I want to thank everybody here and hasta la vista, baby.”

Boris Johnson decided to step down from his role as leader after a series of long series of scandals flying around which prompted resignations within his cabinet. The race to replace him has now narrowed to two finalists: former finance minister Rishi Sunak and Foreign Secretary Liz Truss. The winner will be announced in September, and Johnson will stay on until then, per The Washington Post.
