it was an ill judged and foolish thing for him to do .
secondly, This is not a matter of Hague's sexuality, These are matters which are private and personal to him and are no elses business. But the one thing which is of public concern is if this aide received money from the public purse to undertake a job which he was not really qualified to do as a direct result of a relationship with Hague.
Thirdly, the press conference Hague called was a disaster. it made a scurrilous rumour which not many people were aware of a focus for national attention. This must call into question his judgement.
Lastly, Hague must know if there is one scintilla of truth in the suggestions that he gave his aide the £30000 pa job on the basis of a personal relationship his career is over.
