Lucy Allan, MP for Telford, has faked a death threat against her, avoiding libel by attaching it to an email from someone who used a pseudonym.
Mainstream news outlets are refusing to cover it; she's a tory, Leveson enquiry.

Why is the word resign in quotation marks?
What is being implied here?

Resign is a quote. The guy whose email she edited said she should resign.

Yeah, that may be technically true but that doesn't change that it has implications to do it this way, especially since there is no point in quoting just the one word.
If he really said that, then the quote should be "'should resign'". This actually carries the implication that this is not the article's writer's opinion.
But a simple 'MP told to resign' without any quotation marks at all would work just as well.

Isn't that a crime? It would be here in America.

No it wouldn't. Don't report it to police, don't try to make money off it, don't accuse an actual person/organisation of having sent it to you, no crime, just lying.
