Boris Johnson is ruled out from running for the position of Prime Minister

The British politician confirmed the news earlier today.

Following the fallout of the devastating Brexit decision last week, Britons everywhere were left fearing for the future of their country. After the resignation of David Cameron, accounts of racism flying rife around the country and the rumours that Scotland could stop Brexit happening, people were left confused and unsure of what was bound for the new version of Great Britain. Conservative Party MP Boris Johnson annoyed many when he supported the Vote Leave campaign and following the negative vote, people expected Boris to go all the way succeed Cameron as Prime Minister. However, at a press conference today, Boris made the shock announcement claiming that he would not run for leadership of the Conservative party thus ruling him out of the running for the position of Prime Minister. According to the BBC, the candidates remaining in the race to win the position are now Michael Gove, Theresa May, Stephen Crab, Andrea Leadsom and Liam Fox. Twitter users were outraged at Boris' shock decision to leave the race.

Can all employers make sure that the next job Boris Johnson will be plumber or garbage man. Do NOT let him in neighborhood of politicians. — Bubba (@bubbaMcDuffy) June 30, 2016

Boris Johnson is like the guy who abandons a pregnant wife, but who would be an abusive father/husband if he were forced to stick around.

Shit. Now Boris Johnson will have the time to write his undoubtedly god-awful biography of Shakespeare. The #brexit casualties keep mounting
