British foreign minister Boris Johnson resigned on Monday, following former-Brexit minister David Davis out of the cabinet just days after Prime Minister Theresa May secured a hard-won agreement from senior ministers on an EU exit strategy.
"This afternoon, the Prime Minister accepted the resignation of Boris Johnson as Foreign Secretary. His replacement will be announced shortly. The Prime Minister thanks Boris for his work, an emailed statement from May's office said.

He seems like a guy with some rare common sense, though I don’t know much about him.
Free Tommy Robinson.
An Election could be the best way to go
I think the pro-May crowd had the cards on the table for a high-cost BREXIT exit, to get favorable conditions via EU. The other negative card is the attempt to hold down Tommy Robinson, in the prison system.
My guess is that both the Tories and the Labour Party will lose votes in this snap election (if it occurs) because of Tommy Robinson. Oddly, more than a third of the voters may make a bigger deal about Robinson, than BREXIT.
He was a fine essayist but a disaster as a politician.
Snap elections sound good. Let the people have their say again. We’ll see if there are any patriots left in the UK.
May and the rest of the liberal bosses refuse to obey the will of the people and leave the European Union. It’s May who should tossed out. The people have spoken,
Don’t know a lot about British politics but what I do know (or *think* I know) suggests that these big resignations are meant to force May from office and/or force another election.
Johnson wussed out last time and didn’t run for party leadership.
The EU owns you. Just another way for Germany to control a huge population.
The uniparty has a stranglehold on the UK.
When Trump goes over he should announce a new immigration policy: Fast track for talented, law-abiding, taxpaying Brits who have the nous to get the Hell out.
Brain drain, baby! Bring it!
BBC is saying May will look to other Parties to pass her Turd
BBC has the house of commons live and it looks a big joke
I was in england a week ago. Not much awareness of tommy robinson that i could tell at the time. I did see one road sign while driving around.
Trump is paying a visit i to this soupy political mix. It will ne very interesting sinc i do not expect trump to hold his tongue avout brexit. Its an effing disaster imho and i would guess teump thinks so too. Thr uk should put farage in charge but they would alll have to eat crow first.
It's a dead common House of Commons.
Can you give the coles notes version of what the issue is?
Good riddance to May.
Maybe the political turbulence will force Trump to postpone (or cancel) his visit.
I hope so...
Theresa May has been a disaster as PM. This Brexit plan looks like total surrender to Brussels and is not at all what Brits voted for. Hopefully her government will fall.
Oh and as a nice backhand to the establishment there, if they’re going to let a balloon fly over London the express purpose of which is to show up President Trump, he should return the favor by expressly and openly meeting with Nigel Farage which they don’t want him to do. Tit for tat.
