Liam Fox on Emma Britton’s Radio Bristol show talking about throwing his hat into the ring for Prime Minister. Mr Fox has various hats. One when facing the public. One when discussing issues with Nigel Ashton, Leader of North Somerset Council. One when in Central Government. One when on his Tickenham home ground. Another when in his London flat. He had another during the Brexit referendum. Despite all his reasons why he thinks he would be a good Prime Minister, Fox was out of the race from the outset, again! Only his rural Tory loyal friends in North Somerset would vote for him (but they would vote for a tree with a blue rosette) but not Government ministers. He uses this interview with Emma Britton to plug his book which I won’t mention on here because he needs no further public...
