BREAKING: Tory Minister Resigns From Government (See Why)

Foreign Office minister Lord Goldsmith has resigned over what he described as government “apathy” towards environmental issues.

In a letter to Rishi Sunak, he accused the prime minister directly of being “simply uninterested” in climate commitments.

He said he was “horrified” that key animal welfare commitments have also been abandoned, such as the Kept Animals Bill.

According to Lord Goldsmith resignation tendered earlier this week stated: “Prime Minister, having been able to get so much done previously, I have struggled even to hold the line in recent months.

“The problem is not that the government is hostile to the environment. It is that you, our Prime Minister, are simply uninterested. That signal, or lack of it, has trickled down through Whitehall and caused a kind of paralysis,”
