“Mail on Sunday tripe — I am backing Theresa May. Let's get on with the job,” Johnson posted on his Twitter account.
On Thursday, the United Kingdom held a snap general election, which resulted in a hung parliament as the Conservatives failed to secure an overall majority in the House of Commons and fell short of the required 326 seats.
On Friday, May announced her plans to form the coalition between Tories and the DUP. The move faced strong criticism of the general public with 502,446 people signing the online petition against the coalition.
On Saturday, hundreds of Britons came to the residence of the prime minister on London's Downing Street, demanding that May resign.
