On Thursday 7th July, Boris Johnson resigned. This was due to all the kerfuffle about the ‘lockdown parties’. Hearing this news about the man who ‘Got Brexit Done’, and who had created these restrictions to stay at home, I was furious. I shouted and shouted.
How the conversation went at home
Me: WHY! WHY IS HE ALLOWED TO HAVE PARTIES, AND HALLOWEEN AND CHRISTMAS IN 2020 DIDN’T FEEL THAT CELEBRATORY AT ALL!!!!!
Parents: Oh, all right. Just calm down. He will resign at some point now everybody’s going to ask him about is.
So, then a few weeks later, all party problems were over and done with, and then the war in Ukraine started…
Me: Boris Johnson is quite fortunate that the war started if you ask me.
Dad: That is correct…
Me: (I wait for a bigger response, as if I thought he knew exactly what Boris was going to do. But there was just a small response.)
So, half a year later, I was in my art class, when my friend next to me shouted, ” Boris Johnson is going to do a speech at 12:30 about resigning!” It was 12:28, and I was so excited. I waited for him to shout Boris Johnson was resigned! But no, it had been 5 … 10 … 15 minutes, but no response. And then, “BORIS HAS RESIGNED!” the whole class shouted and whooped with joy, but that all stopped when the teacher told us off.
Then there were 8 candidates to take Johnson’s place: former Treasury chief-Rishi Sunak, Foreign secretary-Liz Truss, trade minister-Penny Mordaunt, backbench lawmaker-Tom Tugendhat, current Treasury chief-Nadhim Zahawi, ex-Equalities minister-Kemi Badenoch, former Foreign secretary-Jeremy Hunt and Atty. Gen.-Suella Braverman. Sajid Javid, Grant Shapps and Rehman Chishti all didn’t get enough votes.
All I can say now is, well, let’s see who becomes the Head of the Conservative Party, and automatically become the Prime Minister. Who will fill in that missing gap in Parliament, and who will do better the Boris Johnson…
