Liam Fox Expected to Resign At Any Moment.

In a disastrous turn of events today for Liam Fox, David Cameron, the world's first part-time Prime Minister, has expressed "full confidence" in his Minister of Defence. We asked an unnamed Tory MP for his reaction; "Well that's it then. Once a Minister is told that the PM has "full confidence" in him he's essentially buggered. He might just as well resign now and save himself a great deal of unnecessary grief." Other MP's from all sides of the House were eager to add their view; "We learned quite quickly when we were in power that "full confidence" actually means "kiss of death," a former Labour minister told us. "Of course it's possible that David Cameron means what he says as is quite prepared to sacrifice his own career trying to support this loser, but I doubt it." We asked "friends" close to Liam Fox how he was taking the news; "He's in Libya at the moment and is serioulsy considering joining Gadaffi in a hole in the ground. He's practically suicidal and is calling David Cameron everything under the sun. What he doesn't understand is why people think that having a "friend" accused of blackmail, suspected of dodgy dealing in the arms industry and of setting up a sham "charity" to glum money out of British taxpayers, is such a bad thing. In the Tory party it's almost obligatory and, anyway, he's far too busy trying to get his hands on Libyan oil to deal with this at the moment."
