The Home Secretary in UK Prime Minister Liz Truss’s Cabinet resigned Wednesday after it was disclosed she sent a classified document to a member of Parliament using her personal email account–apparently safeguarding national secrets is still a thing in Britain–marking the second major departure from Truss’s new administration, the New York Times reports.
Truss addressed the issue at Wednesday’s prime minister’s questions in Parliament, during which Members taunted Truss with demands for her resignation. “I’m a fighter and not a quitter,” Truss responded.
Suella Braverman, the former Home Secretary (equivalent to the Attorney General and DHS Secretary rolled into one), wrote in her resignation letter, “I have made a mistake; I accept responsibility; I resign,” an apparent reference to the earlier firing of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who implemented a harsh economic plan that sent the pound falling and rattled financial markets.
