The U.K.'s big test
1 big thing - A podcast by Axios
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.
