After weeks of enormous political pressure, culture secretary Maria Miller has finally decided to step down from her post, claiming in a letter written to the prime minister that the controversy over her expenses had "become a distraction from the vital work this government is doing".
That makes her the sixth cabinet minister to have resigned from David Cameron's cabinet since he came to power in 2010. If you include less senior ministers and under secretaries then she becomes the 17th.
