Earlier, senior Tories predicted that Liam Fox would have to resign after further details emerged about the tycoons who funded the lavish jet-setting lifestyle of his close friend Adam Werritty.
The Defence Secretary’s position was described by top Tory sources as ‘increasingly untenable’ after it emerged that the costs of Mr Werritty’s foreign trips were paid by a corporate intelligence company and a billionaire who lobbies for Israel.
The pair's relationship came under further scrutiny today as it also emerged they attended another adviser's stag-do in Dubai during an official taxpayer-funded trip.
As questions were asked over how Mr Werritty was able to pay for his extensive trips abroad, it emerged that some £147,000 was paid into the bank account of Pargav Ltd - a not-for-profit company set up by Dr Fox’s self-styled adviser, to cover the costs of first class air travel and top hotels.

This story has been rivetting since the scandal first broke. Fox it appears had his own foreign policy agenda as well as private advisers both in UK and the US. He also had set up a "charity" that furthered neocon principles in both the US and UK. The head of the charity was his apparent lover Adam Werrity. The closeted gay angle is bizarre as Fox first made a name for himself by his hate speech against gays while he was in university though rumors of his being gay have followed him through out his career.
