Amber Rudd resigns hours after Guardian publishes deportation targets letter

PM accepts Rudd’s resignation after 200 MPs sign letter accusing her of making up immigration policy ‘on the hoof’



Amber Rudd dramatically resigned as home secretary on Sunday night, after repeatedly struggling to account for her role in the unjust treatment of Windrush generation migrants.

The home secretary was forced to step down after a series of revelations in the Guardian over Windrush culminated in a leak on Friday that appeared to show she was aware of targets for removing illegal migrants from Britain.

Rudd was facing a bruising appearance in the House of Commons on Monday. Downing Street sources said that in preparing for her statement, new information had become available which convinced Rudd she had inadvertently misled parliament - and she had therefore phoned the prime minister to tender her resignation.

In her resignation letter to the prime minister, Rudd said she had “become aware of information provided to my office which makes mention of targets. I should have been aware of this, and I take full responsibility that I was not.”

The prime minister replied that she believed Rudd had given her evidence “in good faith”; but that she could “understand why, now you have had chance to reiew the advice that you hae received on this issue, you have made the decision you have made, and taken responsibility for inadvertently misleading the home affairs select committee”.

May added that Rudd had led her department with “great integrity, compassion and selflessness - notwithstanding the personal and political challenges you have faced during this period”.

Also all the traitors to the Britsh people Rebbonk and those that like setting man against man with Britex weather you are fore or against it as to me the people voted yet they have tried their hardest to reverse it like Ireland. They have now provern there is no democracy by messing about trying to stop it or delay these MPs should pay out their own pockets for the cost of all this implementing of Britex then saying we won't leave then expecting the tax payer to pay for it all because they can't do their job which we pay them to do.
They are all in it together as they have proven they are liars what s the point in sending myself or others out a card for voting locally or in a general election when they have proven they do what they want not what the voters vote for once they get in they just carry on the same no matter which party gets in and has done for years hence why they want to lower the age of voting to brain wash them with their lying game as the more experienced voter are now more educated and experienced on their lying promises hence why I don't vote in local and general elections I don't vote for liars .
