British Prime Minister Boris Johnson resigns.

APA reports that the British ITV TV channel reported on this.

Britain's newly appointed finance minister, Nadhim Zahavi, recently called on Prime Minister Boris Johnson to resign:

"My number one priority has been and always will be this great country.

When I wanted to become a minister, I did it faithfully.

I accepted the position not personally, but because of this country and what this country gave me.

The challenges facing Britain: whether it's inflation or Putin's war in Ukraine, we won't stop at anything.

It is very important that the main offices of the state continue to work with the national crisis.

If people think badly of me because of this decision, that's a criticism I'm ready to take responsibility for.

Yesterday, I told the Prime Minister together with my colleagues in the cabinet that there is only one direction in the process and it must go with dignity.

I kept this advice to an old friend of 30 years a secret.

I am saddened that he did not listen and is now at this late hour undermining the incredible achievements of this government.

No one will forget about getting Brexit done, our fight against dangerous anti-Semitism, COVID, and our support for Ukraine in its time of need.

But the country deserves a government that is not only stable, but also moves with it, the country deserves solidarity.

Prime Minister, you know what is right, and now go!"
