Foreign Office minister Baroness Warsi's dramatic resignation over the UK's "morally indefensible" position on the conflict in Gaza took many by surprise.

Even Nick Clegg, the deputy prime minister, told reporters this morning that: "It's the first I have heard of it."

Warsi told the Huffington Post UK that she decided to quit as she was concerned that the UK was failing to act as an "honest broker" in the Middle East and was on the "wrong side of history".

HuffPostUK has rounded up nine more moments when the outspoken baroness has courted controversy.
