She's not elected is she? Has she ever been elected?
Not sure what she was doing in the Government in the first place.
She should go and fight a parliamentary seat on a Gaza ticket and see how she gets on.

iirc, Her dad chucked loads of money at the tories, and she was given some rather nice, well paid jobs in govt. It's nice to know she has a conscience.

Baroness Warsi resigned and the Tory spin machine is now putting it about she was a useless, gaffe-prone egotist. This might all be true but it is funny how they never noticed this in the four years between making her a Minister in the government, and her resignation.

Funny i havent seen much Government comments over the plight of Christians in Iraq, Egypt or Syria
Ironically it was the strong dictators like Assad and Saddam Hussein and Mubarak in Egypt who kept their countries safe for Christians and even Jews.

In discussing immigration, Warsi said that people who back the BNP may have a point: They have some very legitimate views. People who say, 'we are concerned about crime and justice in our communities – we are concerned about immigration in our communities.'
But it didn't stop her going by her pre-supplied party script and have a go at Nick Griffin, on the most one-sided Question Time programme in history, when he appeared on it.
Had 4 jobs in the govt. all lasting less than 2 years.
Never been elected.
Criticised by Stonewall, the gayers group, and Labour MPs, that her election leaflets in 2005 were homophobic. We know muslims don't like poofs, but she didn't apologise for another 8 years.
Accused of not being 'a proper muslim' and was pelted with eggs in Luton.
In 2012, she was criticised by tory MPs of the 1922 Committee for her handling of MEP Roger Helmers defection to UKIP.
A witness of the meeting said 'She had a very very tough time. She got it with both barrels from MPs across the party. For the party chairman to get treated like that shows what people think of the party chairman.'
Another is reported to have said 'I just thought she was out of her depth. I have never seen anything like it – other than the last time she was before the 1922. I genuinely think she is the worst chairman we have ever had.'
Also in 2012, like most pigs with their snout in the political trough, she conveniently 'forgot' to declare rental income over £5,000.
Claimed £,2000 living expenses when staying free of charge in a house owned by Wafik Moustafa, a tory party donor.
In 1986, aged 15, she was introduced to a group of young men in Pakistan.
She chose one.
In 1990 she married him.
He was her cousin.
As you do...
Token female muslim in govt. Female asian vote guaranteed.Everybody knew it. In discussing immigration, Warsi said that people who back the BNP may have a point: They have some very legitimate views. People who say, 'we are concerned about crime and
she attacked Chancellor George Osborne and Chief Whip Michael Gove for failing to use their "very, very close" relations with the Israeli Government.
"I don't hold the fact that someone went to public school against them. I don't hold [against them] the fact that they haven't had the breadth of experience that some of us who didn't go to public school have had.
"I hope that if I can be so understanding about their background and shortcomings, they can be understanding to those of us who haven't had those opportunities.
loose canon in run up to election, obviously fuming about something

like those of us who don't get a clear,unfettered,uncluttered passage into the House of Lords for no obvious apparent reason?
nauseating,patronising woman...

'The conservative party need to raise the ethnic minority vote.'
Wonderful insight.
I'd have said the same about Labour, Lib-Dums and UKIP.
But do I get a cushy job in govt?
Do I fack.

What? she'd have had us sending troops to defend the Palestinians.
We need politicians who look after the interests of the British. Not politicians who use the British to look after the interests of their own.
