On Sunday afternoon both Boris Johnson and David Davis gave speeches on Brexit in the main hall at Conservative conference. Happily, their fellow Brexiteer Liam Fox was not too left out and had a chance to share his thoughts at the Conservative Voice’s ‘Brexit, Europe and the world’ reception that evening.
Clearly stung after Nick Clegg suggested he didn’t have a job at a recent Press Gallery lunch, Fox went on the offensive — branding the Lib Dem leader a ‘serial loser’ for doubting his power:
‘I hear Nick Clegg said I didn’t have a job because what we were acting on was delusional. Well I’d just ask you — before you have too much wine — please have a reality check. Nick Clegg feels sorry for me… because I don’t have a job… I mean there are reasons in politics why some are winners and some are serial losers.
