Baroness Warsi: 'I want to be able to live with myself after politics'

Former British cabinet minister Baroness Warsi, who resigned over the British government's inaction over the Israeli attack on Gaza, has been interviewed in the Independent over her reasons for leaving:

"One of the arguments I've heard from people is: 'Why don't you criticise Assad?' Well, we did. 'Why don't you criticise Isis?' Well we did. 'Why don't you criticise Iran?' We did. 'Why don't you criticise Putin?' We did. 'Why don't you criticise Israel?' Well, we didn't. That's the difference. It is about an inconsistent approach to our foreign policy. It is an inconsistency about our application of our values.
