Boris Johnson has defended his record in office and has called on the Conservative Party to rally around his successor Liz Truss, who is set to take over as prime minister.
Johnson, who was forced out of office by his own party over a series of scandals, used his departure speech to boast about his actions in office, including taking the UK out of the European Union, an early vaccine roll-out during the COVID-19 pandemic, and his early support for Ukraine in its battle against the Russian invasion.
