Hague Aid Resigns Over Gay Rumours
U.K Foreign Secretary William Hague has announced that the adviser that he is alleged to have had an affair with, Christopher Myers, has resigned and described allegations of an “improper” relationship between them as “untrue and malicious”.
Mr Hague said that following the allegations Mr Myers (pictured left with Hague) had
decided to resign. He said any suggestion that his appointment was “due to an
improper relationship between us is utterly false, as is any suggestion that I have
ever been involved with a man.”
Questions were first raised after Hague appointed Myers as
his third special adviser, despite the convention that Cabinet ministers are
only allowed to have two political aides.
Rumours about their apparently close relationship began
circulating after pictures appeared of them together in London last summer. It
was then alleged that they had shared a room at the Hotel du Vin in Birmingham
in April.
