Huffington Post UK     First Posted: 14/10/11 14:08 BST   Updated: 14/12/11 10:12 GMT

Journalists have been busy coming up with clever headlines for stories on defence secretary Liam Fox's friendship with Adam Werritty.

As Fox continues to set the cat amongst the pigeons, The Huffington Post UK looks at some of the more cunning headlines to hit the news.

'Liam still digging his own Foxhole' would be better than most of those.
