<snip>
A Conservative minister who resigned after sending a sexually explicit image of himself to a reporter posing as a young activist has said he was a “complete fool”.

Brooks Newmark, who was the minister for civil society, was caught in a sting by the Sunday Mirror.

The married father of five told the BBC: “I have no one to blame but myself. I have hurt those I care about most. I am so, so sorry. But I just need time with my family.”

In his resignation statement, the MP for Braintree in Essex said: “I have decided to resign as minister for civil society having been notified of a story to be published in a Sunday newspaper. I would like to appeal for the privacy of my family to be respected at this time. I remain a loyal supporter of this government as its long-term economic plan continues to deliver for the British people.”
