Should Liam Fox step down?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-15235982
Defence Secretary Liam Fox has had a series of allegations made against him, ads apparently he's "blurred the lines between professional responsibilities and personal loyalties to a friend".
Do you think the conflict of interest between the two have made his role in the cabinet untenable or did he act honourably?

And you can bet William Hague is thinking "Thank **** I haven't got that job and took my mate, or I'd never hear the end of it!"
Well we've all taken our mate along to see us do our job, haven't we?
We've all had our mate in the managers office while they discuss ideas for the store.
Yeah, I'm being sarcastic. Labour MPs have gone for less, so go on Liam Fox. On your sword, there you go.

11th Oct 2011, 8:50 AM #3Speaking earlier, the prime minister said Mr Fox had been "a very effective defence secretary", but it was right that an investigation was being carried out.
"I'm sure that we can answer these questions and come through all of this," he said.
"One can't rush these things... there are important elements of natural justice you have to show as prime minister. You've got to give people the time to answer questions, to unearth the information necessary to do that.
"One can't run these things to some sort of pre-ordained media timetable."
Personally, I think this is a 'No harm done don't do it again' situation. But he should probably resign for endangering national security. You don't really get second chances with that sort of thing, do you?

Excellent! Now it's Oliver Letwin's turn! In fact make it easier in future, I think the best step we can take is to save ourselves the bother and get rid of the lot!

It's a shame, really - by all accounts, Dr Fox was actually very good as Defence Secretary.

Someone obviously still thinks she's Teresa May. (You Google her - I would!)

That's the thing about Teresa Mays. You never know quite what you're going to get.
Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!
