British environment minister Zac Goldsmith on Friday resigned from the government, criticizing Prime Minister Rishi Sunak as "uninterested" in the environmental brief.
"The problem is not that the government is hostile to the environment, it is that you, our Prime Minister, are simply uninterested," said Goldsmith, who sits in parliament's upper chamber and held the title of Minister of State for Overseas Territories, Commonwealth, Energy, Climate and Environment.
