Baker: Dealing with Theresa May was a constant battle

Liberal Democrat MP Norman Baker, who has resigned as Home Office minister, says dealing with Home Secretary Theresa May was a "constant battle" and relations in the department were "disappointing".

Mr Baker denied claims that he thought he was the same ministerial rank as Mrs May but accused her of treating the department as if it was part of a Conservative government and not a coalition.

He added that he needed a break from ministerial office to spend more time with his family and on outside interests.
