He continued: "The last few years have been the greatest privilege of my life, and it is true that I helped to get the biggest Tory majority for 40 years, and a huge realignment in UK poltics.

As Tory MPs shouted “lies,” Mr Blackford went on to say that the people of Scotland will remember this Prime Minister as a “rule breaker.” People’s pay in real terms falling at the fastest rate on record.

“I am going to miss the delusion.” It was all a long way from the plea made by Sir Lindsay Hoyle, speaker of the Commons, at the beginning of the session, when he urged MPs to conduct themselves in a “respectful manner, focusing on issues and policies rather than personalities”.

Odd, again, since Joe Biden failed to mention him by name when he resigned two weeks ago. The second was to stick up for the Ukrainians, not surprisingly, and the third was to stick up for democracy. And looking at the screeching reception he received from the Conservative benches behind him, you would have thought he was leaving in triumph, not mired in controversy and sleaze, and was awaiting the call to return. Is he plotting a comeback?

Johnson's first bit of advice was to maintain the U.K.'s cherished "special relationship" with the U.S., particularly as both countries look to support Ukraine, and Britain looks to cement a trade deal with the U.S. - He told British parliamentarians not to pay too much attention to Twitter, described the leader of the opposition Labour Party a "pointless human bollard" and — his final shot — channeled "The Terminator" as he told the House of Commons, "Hasta la vista, baby."
