Press Vendetta or Public Anger

Today Maria Miller has resigned from her role as Culture Secretary, after coming under fire over her expenses, and profit made from the sale of her controversial second home. Bromsgrove MP Sajid Javid has replaced her.

Over 180,000 people had signed an online petition, which called for Mrs Miller to 'Either pay back £45,000 in fraudulent expense claims or resign.' A poll taken at the weekend showed that 82% of voters thought she should resign from her role in the Commons. Despite this, Prime Minister David Cameron continued to offer his "warm support".
