Early this afternoon, United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson finally resigned as leader of the Conservative Party, after six months of speculation. He plans to stay at the head of the UK government until the autumn. Whatever people think about his politics, Johnson has a reputation for being an interesting speaker.

MP - member of Parliament
Cabinet - collective name for the most important ministers in the government
mandate - the right to be in power, given by voters
