Boris Johnson Resigns From Parliament

Boris Johnson's unexpected resignation as a member of parliament has led to three by-elections, potentially weakening support for the Conservative Party. The timing seems aimed at damaging Richie Senak, whom Johnson blames for his downfall. Johnson hints at a possible return to politics, creating a distraction for Senak's government. The by-elections, resulting from the loss of Johnson and two allies, could be politically embarrassing if lost. The Labour Party is calling for a general election, with polls suggesting they might win decisively.
