All those bumps in the political road for UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, including PartyGate have taken him to a dead end... at least for him Prime Ministership.

Overnight the PM announced that he would be resigning following a barage of resignations within his own Conservative Party.

It was exactly a month and one day ago that I put out a podcast episode (CM0813) on the vote of no confidence that Johnson eventually won. A month later he'd be standing outside Downing Street announcing that he was handing in the keys to No. 10.
