Amal Clooney has quit as Britain’s special envoy on media freedom in protest at the UK government’s “lamentable” decision to override the Brexit divorce settlement, in breach of international law.

In a letter to UK's Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, the prominent human rights lawyer said she had no alternative but to resign after he made clear the Government would change its position.
