Boris Johnson resigns: What happens next and who will take over? | The  Independent

Boris Johnson confirms that he will step down as Prime Minister following a wave of resignations within his party. Noting that he will serve as a caretaker PMI until a new leader is in place.

Thus far, much like how financial markets responded to Theresa May's resignation in 2019, aside from short-term noisy price action, market moves have been muted in UK assets, given that Boris Johnson's resignation does little to alter the overarching bleak macroeconomic backdrop that the UK currently faces.

    • I've been exploring the world of play-to-earn gaming recently, looking for something that's not just about endless grinding but actually offers a fun and rewarding experience. OGC really stood out to me because it combines gaming with a sense of community in a unique way. OGC isn't just a game; it's a platform where you can play, earn, and even help shape its future. You're not just a player; you're part of a community with a voice. The idea of earning crypto while playing games is exciting, but what makes OGC special is its focus on community involvement. Your feedback can directly influence the development of the game, which is a big deal. I've also heard that the OGC token is available for pre-market trading on Bitget. While I'm still getting to know the platform and its features, it's definitely something to keep an eye on. Has anyone else tried OGC? What has your experience been like? I'd love to hear your thoughts and any tips you might have.
