So Lady Warsi has had a go at Douglas Murray.
Her charge: that Murray "denigrates our brave men and women", and does it for "pathetic political point scoring". She called it "utter BS", sneered at the Spectator for platforming him, and sniffed that Michael Portillo "just listens and nods".
What Murray actually said, on that podcast, was that successive governments have let alleged jihadists settle in Britain while dragging our own soldiers through the courts. The SAS hounded by lawyers. The jihadist handed a council house. She called the defence of the forces an attack on the forces.
Which tells you how she argues. She does not hear the point. She hears the tone, checks who is speaking, and reacts.
Then out comes the rank. Former cabinet member. Former national security council member. Former foreign minister. Granddaughter of two men who served, family serving today. All true. None of it a policy.
The Spectator, incidentally, had her number years ago. Its verdict: the most over-promoted, incapable and incompetent minister of recent times.
So when this government goes, and a new lot arrive, they will not be bringing you in.
They will be opening your file.
Walked out over Gaza and never really stopped.
Turned on David Cameron, the only man who ever believed in her.
Tore up the Conservative whip and announced her own party had gone "far right".
Every interview, every column, every argument, ends in the same place. And it is not here.
Disloyal. Ungrateful. Thin-skinned. Always the victim, never the author.
And not one of us. She thrashes our side, then borrows our dead to make her case. She holds a seat for life that nobody voted for, and we do not want her in it.
The next government won't have your back, Lady Warsi. They will have your file.
What utter BS and the way he speaks about our armed forces is appalling and insulting. Denigrates our brave men and women for pathetic political point scoring.
And how low have the Spectator sunk that they now regularly platform this divisive nonsense.
And Michael just listens and nods along 🙄
