In pictures: Boris Johnson's three-year premiership in ten snaps

938 days after leading the party to a thumping victory in the first December election for a century, scandal brought Boris Johnson's government to its knees.

Less than three years ago, Boris Johnson stood outside Downing Street and hailed a thumping Conservative victory in a general election that overwhelmingly solidified his position as Prime Minister.

In the early hours of that freezing December morning, he hailed the win as “smashing the roadblock” in parliament over Brexit while tearing down Labour’s “red wall” in parts of he country.

938 days later, Johnson will stand in front of the same address and announce his resignation from the post after a spectacular fall from grace pockmarked by a litany of scandals that led to the collapse of his government.

The withdrawal of his support in the wake of the Chris Pincher affair and slew of resignations that followed brought a disastrous end to his tenure at number ten.

It is a vastly different scene to those which came after he assumed power following the resignation of Theresa May.
