The Londoner played Where’s Werritty? last night at the launch of Liam Fox’s political history book, Rising Tides. Adam Werritty, the former defence secretary’s best friend, best man and unofficial adviser — and the lobbyist who triggered his resignation in 2011 — does receive a mention on the final page of the tome.
Giving him an acknowledgement in advance of thank-yous for his parents, siblings and wife, he writes: “My thanks to Adam, whose contributions for this book are as valued as his loyalty and friendship, along with the terrific support of his wife, Lucy.”
And a man looking suspiciously like Werritty stood among the guests at the London Film Museum in County Hall as the leading Tory Right-winger spoke.
Dr Fox, whose research included interviews with Condoleezza Rice, Donald Rumsfeld and Tony Blair, said: “Blair told me that he had in fact smacked his children when they were younger. But only because he genuinely believed they had weapons of mass destruction.”
