Boris Johnson Quits as UK Foreign Secretary

Image
U.K. Foreign Minister Boris Johnson resigned on Monday much to the dismay of many supporters. However, Johnson left his post amid a growing backlash over Prime Minister Theresa May's handling of Britain's departure from the E.U. This recent event has truly sent May's government into crisis - just days before President Trump's visit to the UK. Johnson was one of the lead proponents for "Vote Leave", and championed his efforts to secure a smooth and hassle-free BREXIT.

The New Guard - the one that wi
