Boris Johnson quits UK Parliament after allegations of misconduct

The former British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, has quit as a member of parliament in a furious protest against lawmakers investigating his conduct, reopening deep divisions in the ruling Conservative Party ahead of a general election expected next year.
