Appearing on Sophy Ridge On Sunday, International Trade Secretary and Tory MP Liam Fox interrupted the host after she read out a tweet he claims he didn’t send.But he did send it, and here it is again:
"The United Kingdom, is one of the few countries in the European Union that does not need to bury its 20th century history" #scc16

Genuinely don't know how @SophyRidgeSky didn't march Liam Fox over to the screen and yell "THERE".
This might be why I'm not a presenter..
