Sir Michael Fallon: My behaviour in the past may have “fallen short” – BBC News
Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon has resigned following allegations of past behaviour.
He said his behaviour may have “fallen short” of the standards expected by the UK military and said it was right that Parliament was now taking this issue seriously.
The BBC understands his decision was not related to new or specific claims.
The PM said she appreciated the “serious manner” in which Sir Michael had considered his role.
Theresa May said she also appreciated the “particular example you wish to set servicemen and women and others”.

There have been a lot of sanctions programmes against Iran. But this week US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced Operation Economic Outcast, which promises to go further than ever before.
It will punish not just Iran but any country helping Iran – including China. It is the Trump administration’s latest attempt to end the war. Will it work?
We speak to Vali Nasr, professor of international affairs and Middle East studies at Johns Hopkins University, and ask whether in trying to end one war, President Trump risks starting a global trade conflict.

At least 224 people are dead and a state of emergency has been declared after Colombia was hit by one of its largest earthquakes in years.
The death toll is likely to rise, with more feared trapped under collapsed buildings.
The magnitude 7.4 quake struck at 07:34 (12:34 GMT) at a depth of 103km (64 miles) in Chocó province, the country’s geological service said. It was felt across an enormous area, stretching for hundreds of miles across western Colombia.
Many of the deaths have been concentrated in Cali, Colombia’s third most populous city.

If he is so weak that he cannot fend off an allegation of touching a knee 15 years ago, then good, he is unfit to perform any government role.
