[quote]I take your point, Liz - but you could say that about anyone who ever resigned from the government.

WHAT does Baroness Warsi have to gain (by speaking out)?

She was Deputy Chairman of the Tory Party - standing-up against the government is hardly likely to boost her credentials is it????!!!

Sometimes (just sometimes) people DO actually have principles and actually put them into action - as Claire Short did over B-Liar's invasion of Iraq.[/quote]

She's been looking for a 'good' way out for some time, ever since she was humiliatingly bombed out of the chairmanship of the Party. Her future was either as an ex-senior Tory in a variety of junior roles, or outside of the party as a rejuvenated rebel. A 'principled' exit has been the option for unprincipled politicians for about four hundred years. Now she's suddenly gone from being the regular figure of fun on Question Time, stubbornly defending every single thing the Government did or didn't do (very principled, that!), and demoted for fiddling her expenses (VERY principled, that!), to being a figure of, ahem, principle. Excuse me while I vomit. Good causes often attract opportunists. Let's support the cause, not the opportunist.[/quote]

Well said![/quote]

In The Know (as always)	Its clear that Cameron is out of step over Iswail - that a rebellion is under way to cut ties with this terrorist state. Lib Dems to cancel all arms export licenses within days.

JK2006	I also feel it's unfortunate she's a Muslim. Her resignation could look like religious based sympathy. Likewise a Jewish minister should not resign for the opposite reason.
