Top International News

Owen Paterson today dramatically resigned after Boris Johnson executed an extraordinary U-turn on his decision to block his punishment for lobbying. The former minister declared he is resigning as MP for North Shropshire, saying: ‘I will remain a public servant but outside the cruel world of politics.’ It came hours after Commons Leader Jacob Rees-Mogg announced the government has dropped plans for a retrospective overhaul of sleaze rules after a huge backlash at the ‘politically-motivated’ decision.
