Baroness sayeeda warsi, former conservative party chairman in your interview there, and im struck by the fact that you gave her plenty of opportunity to leap to the prime ministers defence and she chose not to do that. she spoke in her own way and let those words stand. let me take you to another example, which arguably is more disturbing because it is somebody who was until a matter of hours ago a government minister, lord agnew, standing up at the dispatch box in the house of lords and as far ...

If the prime minister positively acquiesced in the breaking of the law, then he simply must go. i think if we had reached a set of circumstances like this with the chief executive of a company or a major leader of a public institution subject to select committee scrutiny, i honestly dont think they would be in post by now. but we are in an extraordinary set of circumstances with the prime minister, and particularly with the prime minister being pursued, hounded out of office, i think, probably b...
