Respect Party leader Salma Yaqoob quits blaming 'breakdown in trust'
Respect Party leader Salma Yaqoob has resigned and quit the party, blaming a "breakdown in trust" at senior levels.
She was highly critical of recent comments by Respect MP George Galloway about rape and the case against Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.
She did not refer to that, but said the last few weeks had been "extremely difficult" for the party and for her.
Ms Yaqoob said her decision had been taken with "deep regret" but "collaborative working" had ceased.
In his comments last month, Bradford West MP Mr Galloway had suggested consent was not needed each time before sex.
He criticised the legal case against Mr Assange, who is wanted in Sweden to face charges of sexual assault against two women.
Mr Assange denies the allegations, saying sex took place but was consensual.

I think that thread title was inappropriate.
