Fallon's resignation means that May's whole government could soon be tainted by sleaze https://t.co/CNDdsYi9bI

We need to know the precise reasons Michael Fallon has resigned as a Cabinet Minister, because at the moment, we don't.

Unless other ministers know exactly why Fallon resigned how are they to know whether they have ‘fallen short’? Squeaky bum time
— ALASTAIR CAMPBELL (@campbellclaret) November 2, 2017
Because no one believes Michael Fallon resigned over Julia Hartley-Brewer, everyone is desperate to know what Theresa May is hiding from us.

Bizarre Fallon interview telling @bbclaurak "what was acceptable 10 years ago isn't now." Groping women wasn't acceptable ten years ago.

I could list a dozen ways in which Mr Fallon has "fallen short". Starting with his insistence that Saudi Arabia should not be criticised

As a Sevenoaks constituent, why does Sir Michael Fallon think our standards are suitably lower than military’s that he can still serve us?
