A very British chaos

As of Wednesday afternoon U.S. Eastern time, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is refusing to resign. He’s resisting major pressure from Conservative Party parliamentarians over their loss of trust in his leadership following numerous incidents of apparent dishonesty. Although he’s facing a rising tide of resignations by his top ministers, Johnson appears determined to force a vote on his leadership. That vote is likely to occur later next week, and Johnson is highly likely to lose it.
