William Hague
 
William Hague has been forceful in his denial that his relationship with his special advisor on foreign policy has been inappropriate. I'm sure we will all accept his statement.

We haven't heard the last of it, though. I'm sure some curious reporter will shortly be asking him what sort of special advice he expected to get from a 25 year old with no experience whatsoever of foreign policy.

And why, when they were deciding who should share a room with who, he chose this lad rather than Eric Pickles!

Probably because one's twenty five....and the other's twenty five stone.

It's good the 'special' advisor in question has been named.

He has a look of young Cyfr.

:D

It's been quite interesting, but doesn't hold a candle to the scandals of years gone by.

Did they dress up in football kits, instead of pyjamas?

Did they order oranges from room service?

Did the cleaners find any stockings, fashioned into nooses, left carelessly behind the door?

More details needed.

Nobody cares what he does on his day off BUT there's going to be a hell of a row about paying "Friends" out of the public purse and why deny something that nobody knew about anyway?

Especially when all other Ministers manage with two 'special advisors', and this unqualified lad was Hague's third.

Nice work if you can get it.

Seems strange he resigned.

:rolleyes:

Reporters who remember William Hague's byelection win in Richmond in 1989 affectionately recall one odd aspect of the campaign. Whatever they asked a Conservative press officer about their precocious bachelor candidate's views on great issues of the day, the jittery answer would usually be: "Did you know, his girlfriend's arriving tomorrow?" Yet gay Tory MPs are adamant that the foreign secretary is not, as Lady Thatcher used to say, "one of us".

Political blogger Guido Fawkes, a pseudonym for transparency campaigner Paul Staines, has submitted a Freedom of Information request demanding details of Mr Myers's terms of employment.

It asks: 'Has Mr Myers been on any international trips with the Foreign Secretary? How much is Mr Myers being paid? Could you please provide a detailed job description?'

Privately-educated Mr Myers's appointment was revealed at the weekend after pictures emerged of him walking with 49-year-old Mr Hague in Westminster last year.

He can't be gay.

He's always voted strongly against changes for equality on gay right issues.

For £75,000 a year I'd share a room with Pickles

It's all rather odd.

Especially considering Guido Fawkes is right-wing, and favours the Conservative Party.

I wonder why he's digging about so much?

Is Cyfr/Andrew Barrett's role in any way 'special', working for Yorkshire M.P. Andrew Percy?

Though I suppose the difference is, he's qualified to be a special friend.

Whoops, advisor.
