News about Liam Fox

The plotters obtain orders from veteran party fixer Dougie Smith (centre), whose reputation as a Machiavellian figure lurking in the shadows, has long been associated with anxiety and trepidation in Downing Street's inner circle. Smith, a Tory Party employee who served under Sir Iain Duncan Smith's unfamous leadership, leads the 'Sheekey plotters,' who have been known to gather in London's famed luxury fish restaurant J Sheekey.

After branding a female MP'hysterical, a Tory former Cabinet minister was accused of sexism in the House of Commons last night. Fellow MPs called Dr Liam Fox a "misogynist" after he made the remark about SNP's Alison Thewliss. The spat erupted over Rishi Sunak's proposed Rwanda bill, which the Prime Minister hopes would finally bring migrant deportation flights to Africa off the ground. Dr Fox said in the Commons that it was "very clear" that it was only the Conservative Party that "understands the notion of deterrence when it comes to the consequences of dealing with unlawful immigration. Dr Fox retaliated as he was mocked by Ms Thewliss, saying, "She has had her hysterical name." I will have mine.' The Rwanda Bill, according to MPs, is "no more or less than state-sponsored human trafficking."

According to an indictment that was unsealed on Thursday, a clandestine group named 'Callisto Group', headquartered within the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) cyber unit center 18, was in charge of the hacking operation. Ruslan Aleksandrovich Peretyatko and IT specialist Andy Stanislavovich Korinets, 36, has been charged with orchestrating the global hacking campaign, which also attacked British politicians and journalists. According to the indictment, a former Air Force general, former intelligence officers, and current and former employees of the State Department and Department of Energy all served in the United States.

The unit, which was part of the infamous Federal Security Service (FSB), was reportedly managed by intelligence officer Ruslan Peretyatko (left) and bodybuilder Andrey Stanislavovich Korinets (right). The Foreign Office made the unusual decision today of naming the two men, claiming that they had successfully compromised the private emails and conversations of high-profile politicians and ministers. During'sustained' attempts to interfere in UK politics, which will only increase next year if the country goes to the polls, hundreds of politicians, civil servants, NGO, and journalists took their information from hundreds of politicians, officials, civil servants, NGOs, and journalists. The FSB's Moscow headquarters is shown inset.

The step, Leo Docherty, said, was an attempt to'interfere in UK political processes.'

MPs may have replied to rumors that a former researcher was arrested on suspicion of being a Beijing agent, according to Lord McDonald, the former permanent secretary at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. He denies it. Two potential Conservative candidates were turned down by the party, according to a The Times' article this week, after MI5 warned that they might be Chinese spies. However, the crossbench peer was chastised for telling the BBC that any foreign power's "legitimate interest" is to find out what's going on in Westminster.' He also recommended that the UK have the same rules and standards for China as it has for allies such as the United States and France. Sir Iain Duncan Smith, the Tory leader who has been barred by Beijing for his remarks on human rights abuses in China, branded the remarks 'completely complacent.'

After igniting uproar with a "Timo propaganda video," former minister Tobias Ellwood resigned as the chairman of the Commons defense committee. Following the row, Tory MP Ed Miliband said he no longer had the support of all members of the influential committee. Mr Ellwood, who praised Afghanistan's 'vastly improved' security situation,'reflected poorly' on his fellow committee members in a tweet announcing his resignation. Though I do believe I retained support for the majority of the committee, its energy and effectiveness would simply not be the same,' he said, and could be a distraction if all presenters in the room were not in favour of the Chair.' The Tory MP resigned after struggling to convince coworkers that he should keep the prestigious position at a meeting this afternoon, according to an insider. Opponents were planning to vote as early as tomorrow, with a ten-day notice period for tabling a no-confidence motion in Mr Ellwood coming to an end. Mr Ellwood first tried to argue for attending the meeting, according to a source on the committee. However, they said he'waffled' when asked to make a complete apology. The MP said, 'He is so lacking in self-awareness.' He wanted to leap before being pushed to the end.' It was clear which way it was going.' Labour MP John Spellar will act as the acting chair of the committee ahead of a vote for a permanent replacement for Mr Ellwood, which is set to take place next month.

Tobias Ellwood left his Army career for Parliament, where he has since risen to become one of Westminster's most popular celebrities. The 57-year-old's time as an MP has seen him hold ministerial office, be lauded as a "hero" of the 2017 terror attack and assume one of the House of Commons' most senior positions. However, Mr Ellwood's political career has included allegations that he was'spying' on Donald Trump's camp, receive a short suspension from the Conservative Party, and, most recently, be accused of being a 'propagandist.' Mr Ellwood, who was born in New York, was educated in Bonn, Germany, and Vienna, Austria, Austria, when his parents were based overseas as members of the United Nations. He returned to the United Kingdom to complete a degree at Loughborough University before serving in the British Army for six years with The Royal Green Jackets. Mr Ellwood left the Army as a captain, but he remains a reserve, as he shifts his attentions to politics and industry. He served as an investigator for former Defence Secretary Lord King before serving as an advocate for Bournemouth East in 2005. He was promoted to government positions shortly after the Tories took power in 2010 after he was promoted from PPS to then defense secretary Liam Fox. He joined the Foreign Office in 2014 as a minister, where he continued to serve after Theresa May replaced David Cameron as Prime Minister in 2016. Mr Ellwood rose to national prominence in March 2017 after being photographed struggling to save the life of PC Keith Palmer during the terror attack on Parliament.

It was reported today that a senior Tory MP was appointed chairman of the international affairs committee with support from a suspected "Chinese spy." According to a newspaper, the parliamentary researcher, who was in his twenties, was 'part of' Alicia Kearn's campaign staff and 'followed her around like a flunkey.' She is also suspected of winning the chairmanship partly due to her 'woke' sympathies. After losing to fellow Tories Sir Iain Duncan Smith, Dr Liam Fox, and Richard Graham, Ms Kearns was elected to lead the committee last October. When Tom Tugendhat was named Security Minister, the election was triggered, leaving a vacancy at the top of the prestigious committee.

Former Foreign Office chief Simon McDonald (pictured) said in an extraordinary remark that he had told workers that he voted Remain in the aftermath of the 2016 referendum to demonstrate sympathy with his shell-shocked officials. After Britain voted to leave the EU, Lord McDonald said the step was necessary to'maintain integrity' in a sector that was left 'in mourning.' However, his decision seemed to be in violation of the Civil Service Act and fueled fears that senior officials were attempting to prevent Brexit. Sir Simon's remarks, according to former Cabinet Minister Liam Fox, were "completely inaccurate."

The European Commission, the EU's executive arm, forecast that the German economy would decline by 0.4 percent in 2023, down by 0.4 percent from a previous estimate of 0.2 percent growth. Germany is facing decline in its large industrial sector and a weaker showing in exports, both of which have a major effect on the whole economy. The commission referred to industry's decline in its study, mentioning that energy price shocks related to the war in Ukraine's 'hard' hit Germany. Paolo Gentiloni, the EU Economy Commissioner, said at today's news conference, that 'further decline in the coming months' could have been foreseen as the economy faces'multiple headwinds.'

Boris Johnson's Defence Secretary, Ben Wallace (left), who is widely regarded as a popular cabinet minister and once favorite to become Prime Minister, has resigned from Cabinet service but has announced his resignation before the next reshuffle. As soon as today, the Prime Minister is supposed to announce a mini reshuffle, with Liam Fox (bottom right) tipped to return to frontline politics after replacing Mr Wallace. Grant Shapps (top right) is also a surprise front runner whose name has been published in the competition.

Alicia is the youngest member of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee and the first female to hold this senior position at 35 years old. She opens up about the abuse she suffers on a daily basis. This month, she revealed that she has a panic button in every room of her home in her Rutland and Melton constituency (she was elected to the safe Conservative seat in 2019). After an investigation of the risks she faced during an 18-month period, Parliamentary security advisors led her on the package of safety precautions and she heard the alarms, which are linked to a police station. She is one of China's most vocal critics – she wants to stop government officials from using Chinese-owned TikTok and banning Chinese Hikvision surveillance equipment from government – and she has become a central target of the regime.

ANDREW PIERCE: Mark Francois, the company's doughty chief whip, is updating his book Spartan Victory, in which he gives the inside scoop on the fight for Brexit. Because some of the originals, including current Home Secretary Suella Braverman and Northern Ireland minister Steve Baker, have stated their support for the Windsor arrangement, the Spartans may have been reduced in number - there used to be 28 of them. But with Francois furiously updating his book, there is no indication that others haven't believed the Brexit battle has been won and are planning for a new Thermopylae. The Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC was, of course, fought to the death by 300 Spartan warriors against a massive Persian army in one of history's most famous last stands.
