Kremlin says it hopes that the U.K.’s next leader will be “more professional”

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that he made a decision to resign, both as the Prime Minister and a Conservative Party leader, but will continue to fulfill his duties until a new Conservative leader is chosen.

“It is clearly now the will of the parliamentary Conservative party that there should be a new leader … and therefore a new prime minister,” Johnson said outside his official residence on Downing Street, 10.

The Prime Minister said he agreed with Graham Brady, head of Parliamentary Committee 1922 that unites Conservative lawmakers, “that the process of choosing that new leader should begin now.” The timeframe for this process will be defined next week.

Johnson said he is ready to announce a new Cabinet that will remain in office until a new leader is chosen.

In this context, The Kremlin says it hopes that the U.K.’s next leader will be “more professional,” after Prime Minister Boris Johnson resigned as the country’s ruling Conservative Party leader Thursday.

The politician will remain as a “caretaker” Prime Minister until elections are held later this year.

“We would like to hope that someday in Great Britain more professional people who can make decisions through dialogue will come to power,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. “But at the moment, there is little hope for that.”

“He [Johnson] really does not like us,” Peskov said of the soon-to-be-former British leader, “and we do not like him either.”
