to think that Baroness Warsi should not have resigned via Twitter?

[carlajean]

I admire her for taking this stance but feel she was wrong to have done it on Twitter, and should have had the basic decency to discuss this with her party first. I'm no fan of David Cameron, but she has behaved immaturely, imo

I thought she just announced that she had resigned on twitter.

Erm, she wrote to the prime minister in the normal way, and later announced what she'd done on Twitter.

She didn't resign via twitter - YABU

Really? She has made her views known powerfully "through the usual channels" son many occasions to no effect. She wanted to get her resignation letter into the public domain before the spin doctors could get their hands on it.

Her tweet followed very quickly behind her writing to the PM.

Good for her, I think. It's rare to see a MP with the right morals.

Plainly she would agree since she resigned the usual way.

Oh dear , I jumped to the wrong conclusion, I thought she hadn't informed them first. I'll fetch my coat

Nice to see a politician that has some morals. Good luck to baroness warsi in the future. She has to balls to say it as it is.

Why didn't she resign over Syria? Why did she wait until Gaza?

I think she has a book out in a few weeks. I don't think I've noticed a moral politician to date and that includes Warsi.

Carla :)

I was pleasantly surprised to hear today that she's a mother of 5. She's had a ministerial career and been a lawyer, all of which have been descriptions of her, but never had I heard that. Usually age and mother of x get trotted out much earlier.

She didn't resign on twitter, she did it properly then posted a copy of her letter in twitter afterwards, yabu not to check the facts before thinking she's bu ;)

I thought she looked genuinely distressed on the news clip I saw.

I thought it was a bit odd myself, to do it that way. But I do however agree with LilyandGinger in that she looked genuinely distressed over it all and who can blame her?, it is shocking

Morals?!

Expense scandal and book.

Poor for a politician to use twitter to publicise her resignation and attempt to cause maximum discomfit to her party leader, who has given her so many opportunities. Spectacularly bad timing, (day of ceasefire which seems to be working), overshadowed by plane at Manchester Airport.
She has clearly failed Norman Tebbit's cricket test.

Cricket test? Are you for fucking real?

YABU

Why would she resign over Syria The UK put sanctions in place against the Asad regime and armed and trained the rebels. We did the right thing, so why would that cause her to resign?

We don't even enforce UN agreed sanctions against Israel for the continuing illegal settlements in the West Bank let alone adequately respond to the current massacre in Gaza.

I'd bet my right arm that this is nowt about politics and all about publicity.

Of course she didn't resign on twitter FGS!!!!!

Good for her. Why should she do it the 'right way'. Maybe if more politicians spoke out then the government would do something, anything about the disgusting situation.

I think she's done a brilliant thing.

Her resignation (which was done in the right way) is worth more if it's publicised, because the issue that she's resigning over needs all the publicity and public pressure it can get.

I disagree that it's bad timing just because of the ceasefire, this issue goes deeper than the oppressive state of Israel just dropping bombs. Our government has a very sorry role to play in the whole situation, and that shouldn't be forgotten just because the bombing has stopped for now.

How like the tories not to believe that someone might have had moral motives. Projection, much?
