The controversial chairman of the National Trust has resigned amid a growing revolt among members over his woke policies.
Tim Parker s decision to quit was announced just 24 hours after a highly critical motion at this year s AGM said the membership had no confidence in his leadership and demanded his resignation.
Members, ministers and MPs had grown increasingly frustrated with Mr Parker s chairmanship, which critics said he used to take the 126-year-old charity in a politically correct direction.
Last September, the Trust published an sensational 115-page report which blacklisted 93 of its estates over their alleged links to slavery - including Chartwell in Kent, home of Sir Winston Churchill.
