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.

Legendary former West Indies captain Sir Vivian Richards and former Barbados and England opener Roland Butcher have sent words of advice to promising Guyanese and West Indies middle-order batsman Shimron Hetmyer.
An overweight and unfit Hetmyer has not featured for the West Indies side in recent times, and despite his abundance of talent, both retired players suggested he is failing to fulfil his true potential.
Richards called on Hetmyer to take a more mature approach to cricket in order to realise and maximise his full potential. The iconic former batsman fondly referred to as the ‘Master Blaster’ said that any failure by Hetmyer to do justice to his ability would be a great loss not just to the West Indies, but to the sport as a whole.

A mysterious fire in the backyard of a Cane Garden residence has left a mother fearing for her life and those of her children. She suspects it was intentionally set.
On Wednesday (May 5) evening, Fiona Leitch and her family were at home when a neighbour called to say there was a fire in their backyard.
Speaking with the Observer, Leitch detailed the night’s experience.
“I was on the phone with a friend about 11 pm when I heard my dogs barking, and they would not stop barking. I thought they were barking at donkeys. I told my husband to go and check. Shortly after, I heard my neighbour calling ‘Fiona, Fiona, fire in your backyard’,” she said.
