Lord Wolfson of Tredegar has resigned from his post as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice at the Ministry of Justice. I append below his resignation letter which, I think, well sets out the opinion and feelings of a thoughtful and well educated person in the legal profession. I do not for one moment suppose that it will influence Boris Johnson in the slightest who will dismiss it and him as “wet”. But for more thoughtful people it illustrates the ever widening gap between this Government and common decency.
