Afters days of mounting pressure, Amber Rudd has resigned over her handling of the Windrush scandal. May faced immediate calls from Labour and the Lib Dems to front up to the Commons about Rudd’s resignation and the whole Windrush scandal. The Times and Metro kept it short and pithy with: “Rudd resigns” and “Rudd quits” respectively. The Guardian leads with “Rudd quits over Windrush scandal”, saying the home secretary’s dramatic departure came as she struggled to account for her role in the unjust treatment of Windrush citizens. The Telegraph says “Rudd quits as leaked letter leaves her denial in tatters”, citing the private letter written by Rudd to May as the reason for the resignation.
