Amber Rudd Quits As Home Secretary To Take 'Responsibility' For Misleading MPs Over Targets For Kicking Out illegal Immigrants

Home Secretary Amber Rudd shocked Westminster last night by resigning over the raging Windrush scandal

Amber Rudd finally bowed to massive pressure last night and quit saying she had to 'take responsibility' for misleading parliament over deportation targets for illegal migrants.

With no sign of the scandal blowing over, the Home Secretary decided to fall on her sword rather than face more humiliation.

'I feel it is necessary to do so because I inadvertently misled the Home Affairs Select Committee,' she said - admitting she 'should have been aware' the targets existed.  

The dramatic departure will be a huge blow for Theresa May - and potentially leaves her personally vulnerable.
