LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Wednesday he was not going to resign, and that the last thing the country needed was a national election.
"I am not going to step down and the last thing this country needs, frankly, is an election," he told a parliamentary committee, when asked to confirm he would not seek to call an election rather than resign if he lost a vote of confidence.
