Owen Paterson will resign as the MP for North Shropshire in order to escape"the cruel world of politics" following a furious row over his proposed ban from the House of Commons.
As part of the backlash, the government was accused of"corruption" in seeking to overhaul parliamentary standards rules in an alleged effort to protect the MP.'Shame': MPs vote against suspension of ex-minister, where he insisted he"wouldn't hesitate" to act in the same way"tomorrow", two sources have told Sky News.in the row on Thursday less than 15 hours later with the promise of a new vote on Mr Paterson's suspension.
His North Shropshire constituency is a blue chip Tory seat where he had a majority of just under 23,000 at the last election. Despite his protestations of innocence, he has brought disgrace on the Conservative Party and the prime minister and, one way or another, he had to go. "I know that this must have been a very difficult decision but I can understand why - after the tragic circumstances in which he lost his beloved wife Rose - he has decided to put his family first."Mr Paterson was last month found by a Commons watchdog to have"repeatedly used his privileged position" to benefit Randox, a clinical diagnostics company, and Lynn's Country Foods, a meat processor and distributor.
"She was everything to my children and me. We miss her everyday and the world will always be grey, sad and ultimately meaningless without her. The last few days have been intolerable for us. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer demanded an apology from the prime minister following the Westminster row over Mr Paterson's suspension."Only yesterday Boris Johnson was forcing his MPs to rip up the rules on standards in public life is a truly damning indictment of this prime minister and the corrupt government he leads.
