UK PM Boris Johnson addresses the press outside 10 Downing. "It is clearly now the will of the parliamentary Conservative Party that there should be a new leader of the party and therefore a new prime minister," Boris Johnson says. Johnson says he will serve until a new leader is in place.

He says it is preposterous to change governments, rejecting the idea of a general election, when we're "delivering so much and such vast mandates, when the economic scene is so difficult domestically and internationally".

I regret to not be successful in arguments and it's painful not to see through so many ideas and projects."
