MP in suicide bombers row
Jenny Tonge live on BBC Breakfast
The Liberal Democrat MP Jenny Tonge has caused outrage by saying that she would consider becoming a suicide bomber if forced to live like Palestinians.

Her remarks were disowned by the Liberal Democrats: they've made it clear she was speaking for herself. And they were described as sickening by the shadow foreign secretary.

  • So does she stand by what she said? We brought Jenny Tonge together with fellow MP Louise Ellman, who's a member of the group Labour Friends of Israel.

    And we had a huge response in our e-mail inbox, with you pretty firmly divided on whether Jenny Tonge's views were justified.
