This debate or rather the question and answer session is still going on as i write. The government benches are very much behind Fox whereas Labour are asking the delicate questions that need to be asked. Although Mr Cameron was talking tough late last week he seems to have watered down his position today. However it has become clear that Fox had Werritty with him abroad 22 times as I understand it rather than the 16 initially thought.
Picture shows Fox robustly defending his position. Second picture shows Charlie Elphicke also speaking in the session.
In responding to Dennis Skinner who pointed out to Fox that his Tory friends in the newspapers, the Daily Mail and the Telegraph, were not supporting him, Fox said looking at Dennis Skinner that he was...
"proof that a good bottle can be kept open too long!"
which was certainly nasty and certainly ageist.
