No 10's problem is that an official enquiry will only investigate whether Fox broke the ministerial code. But the political side dwarfs that.
Why did Werrity & Fox become friends? Werrity was a health consultant while Fox held a health position, and a defence consultant when Fox got a defence post. The Telegraph's long account uses the word "coincidence" at least three times. Maybe that was at their lawyer's behest, but it starts to sound sarcastic.
The Mail asks a good question: what do the security services know about Werrity?
One could also ask: if Fox couldn't see what this was going to look like, why should we trust his judgement on anything else? He looked lightweight already.
Now look at the Telegraph's two front page headlines: Fox on one side of the page, Huhne on the other ... both sleazy.
If things go badly for the government, today's front page may come to be seen as a landmark.
