William Hague was under fire today after a senior MP hinted that he may not be the right person for the job

William Hague was under fire today after a senior MP hinted that he may not be the right person for the job of Foreign Secretary, following the bungled special forces operation in Libya.

Sir Menzies Campbell described the post as ‘very demanding’, adding that he was unsure ‘just how enthusiastic he is’.

The former Lib Dem leader spoke out on Newsnight after Mr Hague admitted responsibility for the operation, which saw a small group of SAS soldiers rounded up and held by rebel soldiers – mostly believed to have been Libyan farmers - before being kicked out of the country.
