pressure to resign, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson told legislators on

answer to a query from a politician from his own party asking if the prime
minister thought there were any situations in which he should resign, Johnson
made the comments in parliament. ’

Clearly,
Johnson told parliament, "If there were conditions where I believed it was
difficult for the government to continue and discharge the mandate that we've
been given, or if I felt, for example, that we were being hindered in our
desire to support the Ukrainian people, then I would."

honestly, Johnson remarked, "the role of a prime minister in trying times
when you have been given a massive mandate is to keep going." And I am
going to do just that.
