Boris Johnson resigns: What next for UK?

After more than 50 MPs’ resigned in a painful 24 hours for Boris Johnson, he’s going, going...gone.

At about 12.30pm, the ominous Downing Street lectern was carried out into the road, for a speech marking the end of two years and 348 days since Johnson became resident of Britain’s most famous address - the same as Neville Chamberlain.

And while his innings weren’t as long as Theresa May or David Cameron, he does beat the likes of Gordon Brown and Sir Anthony Eden.

So what, or who, did for the scandal-ridden PM in the end?

The knife was certainly twisted by Nadhim Zahawi, who called for Johnson to go just a day after being made Chancellor - with the request made on Treasury-headed notepaper.

The pound had a small bounce and while the Conservatives seek to anoint a successor, Labour are calling for an election to let the British public decide.

So, who’s the best person to get our country back on an even keel?

We’re joined by the Evening Standard’s deputy political editor David Bond and ES columnist Ayesha Hazarika to examine today’s bombshell developments.
