Inside Boris Johnson's resignation

In the end, it took nearly 60 government resignations, more personal scandals than one can count, and a painful amount of drama and dysfunction. But the moment finally came today when British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced he would step down – except he wants to stay on until his successor is chosen, which could be months from now. He painted his legacy in terms of getting Brexit done, the Covid vaccine rollout, and Britain’s support for Ukraine. But Johnson’s time in office will surely also be remembered for the tsunami of self-inflicted crises, breaking the law over Partygate, and his many attempts to cling onto power. Alistair Burt served under Boris Johnson at the UK Foreign Office and joins the show to discuss. Also on today's show: CNN International Diplomatic Editor Nic Robertson, Finnish President Sauli Niinistö, historians Catherine Haddon and Simon Schama.
