Just my cynical opinion of course, but the leaking of the Liam Fox letter is all part of the political game being played at the moment. It is just another card being played to reduce the shock of the cuts to come.
The cuts will be pushed through in one way or another, but Liam will be seen to be a man with backbone, who stood up to the PM. That gives him lots of smarty points in the eyes of the more gullible people out there.
Everybody knows about the leak and how it occurred and they are all “appalled”. It’s all a big game.
Yes, sorry I have been watching too much “Yes Prime Minister”
