Boris got done

Just last week Boris Johnson was bestriding the world stage, joking about showing his pecs to Putin at the G7 and Nato summit. Today he is Prime Minister in name only, having reluctantly agreed to leave office after more than 50 of his ministers resigned.

He took Britain out of the EU, he presided over the pandemic, almost dying himself in the process, and lead the world in support for Ukraine.
