The support of this Blog for her courageous move in resigning her ministerial post, over the shockingly ambivalent performance of the Government in the face of the bombardment of Gaza, is both full hearted and heartfelt. The fact that she is resigning from the Foreign Office, where she will have been at the centre of the discussions, underscores the significance and seriousness of the issue. Moreover she has shown the courage of her convictions in a way which is now rare for the new breed of ministers, who put career above principle.
Baroness Warsi may have interrupted her political journey, but she has not ended it. Indeed the opposite. She has shown that she has got what it takes and she has values which matter. She will go far. Just wait and see.
