I have resigned from Cabinet and surrendered the Conservative Whip.
I cannot stand by as good, loyal moderate Conservatives are expelled.
I have spoken to the PM and my Association Chairman to explain.
I remain committed to the One Nation values that drew me into politics.

Funny thing really, as just last week the PM asked me to stand in the General Election.
Afraid the Chief Whip has been briefed by the wrong “No 10 Sources” this morning but nonetheless I respect the decision he had been asked to make.
🚨 BREAKING 🚨
Chief whip Mark Spencer tells Amber Rudd she WONT be getting the Tory whip back.
Tells her he doesn’t trust her not to turn on Boris Johnson again.
‘Receipt of the whip is an honour, not a right and it cannot be discarded or returned at will.’

No true. The Benn Act galvanised Government to get a deal. Without it, we could have drifted to Oct 31st. Now we have to have a deal to leave on time .
Most of those who backed the Benn Act did so because they wanted to stop Brexit. But some did so because they genuinely wanted to leave—but with a deal. Last 48 hours, though, have highlighted what a strategic miscalculation they made: they've actually made ‘no deal’ more likely
