Former UK diplomat resigns, claiming arms export controls are politically manipulated and unethical.

Smith alleges officials were pressured to alter findings on UK arms misuse by allies, and that whistleblowers faced retaliation. His claims include issues with UK arms sales to Saudi Arabia and Israel, suggesting a systemic effort to bypass legal and ethical standards.
