A Downing Street spokesperson told CNN on Thursday that “the Prime Minister will make a statement to the country today.”
Earlier on Thursday, the British national broadcaster BBC reported that Boris Johnson is to resign as Conservative Party leader today but will continue as prime minister until the autumn.
PA Media earlier reported, citing a Downing Street source, that Johnson has spoken to Conservative Party 1922 Committee chairman Graham Brady and agreed to stand down, with a new leader set to be in place by the party conference in October.
