Episode description

Prime Minister Boris Johnson resigned Thursday morning, after dozens of his cabinet members quit. It’s an unusually turbulent political crisis for the UK that follows allegations of sexual misconduct within Johnson’s own party and a series of mishaps that have left many within his own party without confidence in his leadership. Axios' Dave Lawler says this moment represents a test for UK institutions. Plus: voters are looking for unity as American divides deepen. And: a historic day at Wimbledon. Guests: Axios' Dave Lawler and Margaret Talev. Credits: Axios Today is produced by Niala Boodhoo, Sara Kehaulani Goo, Alexandra Botti, Nuria Marquez Martinez, Lydia McMullen-Laird, Alex Sugiura, and Ben O'Brien. Music is composed by Evan Viola.
