The political figure Baroness Warsi has resigned from the Conservative party, citing the party's shift towards extreme right-wing beliefs.

Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, a prominent member of the Conservative party, has announced her resignation. This decision comes after her recent claims that the party has shifted too far to the right. As a former co-chairwoman and cabinet member under David Cameron, she was also the first Muslim minister in Britain until her departure from the government in 2014. Currently serving as a peer in the House of Lords, Warsi took to Twitter to share her decision, stating that she will no longer take the whip from the Conservatives.

In her tweet, she expressed her sadness over the current state of the party, stating that it has strayed far from the one she initially joined and served in cabinet. This was a difficult decision for her, as she remains a Conservative at heart. However, she believes that the party has moved too far to the right, and she can no longer align herself with its policies and actions.

Warsi also mentioned her concerns about the party's treatment of different communities, citing hypocrisy and double standards. She referred to her book, "Muslims Don't Matter," as a timely reminder of the issues she has been raising. Her resignation comes after she called out Robert Jenrick, a leading candidate for Tory leadership, for his comments on arresting protestors who shout "Allahu Akbar."

In a recent interview, Warsi denounced Jenrick as a "tool" for his divisive rhetoric, especially considering his role as a member of the parliament where they begin their day with a prayer. Her resignation highlights her strong stance against Islamophobia within the party, which she has been vocal about for a long time. In 2014, she resigned from the government over their stance on Gaza, calling it "morally indefensible."

In her resignation letter back then, Warsi criticized the government's approach and language towards the crisis, stating that it was not in the national interest and would have a negative impact on the country's reputation. She has remained a vocal critic of the party's treatment of Muslim communities since then.
