    What a hypocrite this woman is! She resigned only when it was very clear that there was a huge groundswell of opposition to the Iraq invasion – not before. She would have gained far more respect if she had resigned alongside and supported Robin Cook. Instead she waited until it looked like she would be on the right side. She sickens me – she is no better than Blair
