A British MP has resigned amid a row over his conduct which led to a major government u-turn.
Owen Paterson was found to have "egregiously" broken lobbying rules and was facing suspension, until his Conservative Party colleagues controversially blocked it.

Mr Paterson says he now wants a life "outside the cruel world of politics," and there'll be a by-election to replace him in his constituency, which he's represented since 1997.
