A fourth member of British Prime Minister Gordon Brown's government quit June 3 in a new blow to his political authority amid widespread outrage over the country's lawmakers' expense scandal. Communities Secretary Hazel Blears said her resignation follows the decision of Home Secretary Jacqui Smith and two junior ministers June 2 to quit Brown's government. Lawmakers from all parties have expensed items ranging from cookies and cushions to horse manure, swimming pool repairs and bogus home loan payments, outraging the public. (AP)
