WARSI RESIGNS OVER GAZA POLICY
Foreign Office Minister Baroness Warsi has resigned over the Government's policy on Gaza.
In a statement posted on her Twitter feed, she said: "With deep regret I have this morning written to the Prime Minister & tendered my resignation. I can no longer support Govt policy on Gaza."
Lady Warsi became the first Muslim to sit in the Cabinet when she was made Conservative Party co-chairman by David Cameron following the 2010 general election.
She was subsequently moved to the post of Minister of State at the Foreign Office and Minister for Faith and Communities in Mr Cameron's 2012 re-shuffle in a move widely regarded as a demotion.
