Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett was on the Today programme on Radio 4 this morning, and she refused to categorize Israel's bombardment of Lebabnon as "disproportionate".

Jack Straw (in public) and Hilary Benn and David Milliband (in private) all have concerns about the government's policy, as do backbench Labour MPs.

In contrast, Green Party MEP Caroline Lucas has joined thousands of peace campaigners in calling on Tony Blair to demand an immediate ceasefire in the two-week Lebanon conflict.
