Protesters Demonstrate Against Boris Johnson's Appointment As UK's New Prime Minister

A pro-Brexit placard stands fixed to a lamppost outside the Houses of Parliament in London, England, on July 24, 2019. Today sees the start of the premiership of leading Brexit advocate Boris Johnson, after Theresa May stood down as prime minister over her failure, on three occasions, to get her EU withdrawal bill through Parliament. Johnson, a deeply divisive figure lionised by his supporters as a true champion of Brexit, derided by his critics as lacking seriousness and integrity, beat his Conservative Party leadership rival Jeremy Hunt in a ballot of Tory party members by a margin of two to one.
