Jacqui Smith
Jacqui Smith is to resign from the Cabinet in a forthcoming reshuffle, a source close to the Home Secretary said today.
The source said she had been ''hurt'' by revelations about her expenses claims and spoke to Prime Minister Gordon Brown about her plans to stand down about two months ago.
The source said she was planning to defend her Redditch seat at the next general election.
