Boris Johnson Resigns As UK's Foreign Secretary

Boris Johnson has resigned as the Foreign Secretary amid a growing political crisis over the UK's Brexit strategy. 

This makes him the second senior cabinet minister to exit within 24 hours after Brexit Secretary, David Davis's resignation. His departure came 30 minutes before Theresa May is due to address Parliament about her new Brexit plan, which has angered many Tory MPs.

In a statement, the government thanked Boris Johnson for his work and said his replacement would be announced shortly.
