In a post he wrote: “What I saw in Kyiv this week was a people resolute in their defiance against Putin’s tyranny and Russia’s aggression… And a nation standing strong and powering ahead in spite of constant attacks”.reported that Liam Fox, who had to step down as Defence Secretary in 2011 amid controversy, “is being discussed for the role”.
: “I mistakenly allowed the distinction between my personal interest and my government activities to become blurred”.by the-then Cabinet Secretary Sir Gus O’Donnell. It criticised Mr Fox for allowing Mr Werritty to use business cards that would have made it look as if he was working for the Government and accused him of “a failure of judgment”.
