Tory MP: ‘Boris Johnson managed to do the right thing’
Boris Johnson has resigned as the conservative party leader.
He will remain as the Prime Minister until the autumn to allow a Tory leadership contest to take place.
Conservative MP for South Swindon Robert Buckland tells 5 Lives Nicky Campbell what this means for the party going forward.
“A caretaker period doesn’t mean no action; it may be a bit boring but dull is good because it means we can get things done.”
This clip is originally from the Nicky Campbell phone-in on 7 July 2022.
