Tim Parker resigned as National Trust chairman amid a bid to depose him
Former volunteer Tony Adler pointed finger at director-general Hilary McGrady
More than 50 members said they had no confidence in his leadership
Last September the Trust published 115-page report which blacklisted 93 estates over links to slavery
Mr Adler claimed he was forced out after pointing out report s inaccuracies
Leading historian Simon Heffer said Ms McGrady is responsible for turning Trust into left-wing front organisation
Said he was delighted Mr Parker has resigned but said he is not the main culprit
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.

Emma Howard Boyd s Speech at the Transition Pathway Initiative event at the London Stock Exchange, Thursday 13 May 2021
From:
13 May 2021 (Transcript of the speech, exactly as it was delivered)
Two weeks ago, Germany’s constitutional court said the country’s 2019 climate law is inadequate because the largest share of decarbonisation needed for its 2050 climate goals won’t be met until after 2030.
While Germany had targeted to lower greenhouse gas emissions 55 percent by 2030, compared to 1990 levels, the court ordered the government to revise the law by the end of the year.
The case brought by nine young climate activists, supported by a coalition of environmental groups, successfully argued that the planned transition offloaded burdens into the future and so violates the rights of younger generations.
