I guess like many she has got sick of this PM procrastinating on this issue.
I think it is a disaster too having Philip Hammond as Foreign Secretary at this vital time, with the Ukraine mess and now this Gaza conflict too.

even though she has another viewpoint

If she can't support her party then maybe she is right to stick to her principles and step away?

A politician with scruples... who'd a thunk it?

Maybe if she had tweeted. Oi Hamas, stop firing rockets at Israel and they will stop retaliating.

I guess when you have had enough,enough is enough. She has had her loyalty tested a fair bit.

I don't care for her but unless this PM and Foreign Secretary he has just appointed starts to put forward some concrete ideas and proposals to deal with this crisis instead of procrastinating and putting things off by paying only token lip service to the problem.
Baroness Warsi is then likely saying what a great number now think as to this conflict and our Govts reaction to same.

You have a point LT.
However, I haven't come across that myself,most people I have chatted to and who I know too are really concerned at what is happening.

I doubt any rational adult is not concerned when they see the images but as we have got a pretty poor record of getting involved in other folks wars i doubt there is any appetite for anything other than concern.

[the truth]

i totally respect this moral decision

does anyone know what is the presents govts stance on Gaza anyroad?
