- Boris Johnson’s journey to Scotland.
- It is his last trip as prime minister of Great Britain.
- Johnson will publicly resign in front of Queen Elizabeth.
The RAF Northolt facility in west London is the departure point for Boris Johnson’s journey to Scotland. It is his last trip as prime minister of Great Britain.
Johnson will publicly resign in front of Queen Elizabeth, and Liz Truss will soon follow in his footsteps to succeed him.
The establishment of a new administration requires the formal approval of the Queen. It is purely ceremonial and often only lasts a few minutes. Each minister is driven quickly from Downing Street to Buckingham Palace in a car.
However, the 96-year-old monarch chose to remain in the Scottish castle where she has spent the majority of her summer since she has mobility issues this year and has scaled back her trips as a result.
This might prolong a day of political drama by starting Johnson’s goodbye speech early, at 7:30 a.m. local time.
