  Estelle Morris Resignation Friday 25 October 2002  
Estelle Morris Resignation It's rare in political life for anyone to admit mistakes let alone say that they're not up to the job. Estelle Morris's refreshing candour has provoked tributes from across the political divide.

Beyond the compliments, wider questions are being asked about the surprise resignation. Should we be praising her honesty or criticising her for a lack of staying power? Did she show an inability to survive in today's tough political environment?
Liberal Democrat Peer Shirley Williams, Independent columnist Joan Smith and Conservative Party Chairman Theresa May join Martha.
