Baroness Warsi resigns over Gaza conflict
In her resignation letter, which she posted on Twitter at 10.10am, she described the government's approach and language during the current crisis in Gaza as "morally indefensible", saying that it is "not in Britain's national interest and will have a long term detrimental impact on our reputation internationally and domestically".
She added that the decision to resign "had not been easy", but that there was a "great unease across the Foreign Office, among both Ministers and their senior officials, in the way recent decisions are being made".
"I always said that long after life in politics I must be able to live with myself for the decisions I took or the decisions I supported. By staying in Government at this time I do not feel I can be sure of that."
