A British minister has resigned after sending text messages of sexual nature to two women, a media report said on Sunday. Minister for Small Business Andrew Griffiths told the Sunday Mirror that he was "deeply ashamed" of his behaviour that caused "untold distress" to his wife and family to whom he "owed everything". Griffiths, 47, also apologised for the "deep embarrassment" caused to Prime Minister Theresa May and the government. The MP had been following the two women on Snapchat for six months before making contact in June, the BBC reported.
