Adam werritty gay

And they invited me to a barbecue, so I went. Other newspaper stories have Fox and Werritty attending karaoke nights together, where Fox used the assumed name 'Barry from Bournemouth'. And despite their year age difference, Werritty acted as best man when Fox married Jesme Baird in December , a wedding that took place against a background of gossip, innuendo — or 'up yer endo' as they like to say in Fleet Street on these occasions - and political intrigue.

As James Forsyth wrote in the Mail on Sunday , Fox "prides himself on not playing by the safety-first rules of the 21st Century political game This conceit may well be his undoing. Get the facts behind the news, plus analysis from multiple perspectives.

Adam Werritty has been 'close friends' with Defence Secretary Liam Fox for about 15 years, we are told. That and the fact that he has plenty of enemies in the Ministry of Defence, as the Mole writes today, who are happy to help keep the rumour alive, even if there is not a shred of real evidence to support it.

Adam Werritty (born 18 July ) is a Scottish businessman. Except that, for some reason, Fox has not put it to rest. Escape your echo chamber. According to reports, in and Werritty lived rent-free in Fox's London flat — a taxpayer-funded 'second home'. The paper even found a behavioural expert to say: "When people are very close and friendly there is often a tendency to start looking alike, even down to the posture they adopt and the way they dress.

Why not? Fox was a year-old bachelor when he announced his engagement to Baird, a fellow doctor who worked at the Roy Castle Lung Foundation. From our morning news briefing to a weekly Good News Newsletter, get the best of The Week delivered directly to your inbox.

When the William Hague saga finally fizzled out last year it was generally agreed that, whatever the truth about his relationship with his young adviser, his decision to allow Myers to sleep in the same hotel room showed a "lack of judgment". The Tory politician met him when he was a year-old student at Edinburgh University.

They came to the programme, they were in the audience and they were desperately keen to get to talk to a British politician. ABC News reports that Werritty also visited the minister 22 times at the defence ministry in London during the same period, and printed business cards describing himself as Fox’s adviser.

The fresh revelations - which forced Dr Fox to deny his visitor was his self-styled adviser Adam Werritty - came amid a raft of new revelations about the Minister and his friend. The two men were fond of dressing alike, the Mail on Sunday has discovered.

NOT SINCE last year's saga of William Hague and his special adviser Christopher Myers has the British press - or sections of it, at least - got itself into such a tangle insinuating that a senior public figure might be gay. Werritty is a friend of the former UK Secretary of State for Defence and ex Secretary of State for International Trade, Liam Fox.

Adam Werritty has been 'close friends' with Defence Secretary Liam Fox for about 15 years, we are told. How and why they met is delightfully unclear. That recklessness is what has allowed Fleet Street to continue to make assumptions about his sexuality.

Nor, it might be said - at least until yesterday's apology - has he bothered to try to do so. Hennessy wrote: "As is the case with many politicians who reach their early 40s as a bachelor, Dr Fox has been dogged by persistent rumours about his sexuality However, he has put all that to rest by announcing his engagement last week to Jesme Baird.

It came a week after Fox, then shadow foreign secretary, appeared in the headlines for entertaining a group of British students in a hotel bedroom in Paris , where they emptied the minibar and one student ended up staying the night on the sofa in Fox's room. The announcement of the engagement to Jesme Baird also came shortly before Fox declared he would be running against David Cameron, David Davies and others for the leadership of the Tory party that December.

When Forsyth asked a political ally of Fox's to explain how the Defence Secretary had got himself into his current pickle, he received the response: "Because he's a reckless bastard with no judgment. The Tory politician met him when he was a year-old student at Edinburgh University.

The timing of the announcement was fascinating to the press. Now they're saying the same about Fox. Why did the Defence Secretary not think to himself - in the light of the trouble Hague had encountered - "Hmmm, maybe young Adam should stop trailing after me, handing out business cards saying he's my adviser The fact that Fox did nothing about it supports a theory in Westminster that he doesn't really give a toss what people think of him.

Fox then appointed Werritty executive director of Atlantic Bridge, the shadowy right-wing charity recently closed down because it turned out not to be charitable at all.
