He said: 'It is with real sadness that I tender my resignation, but I want to take this opportunity to offer my full and total support from the back benches.' The embattled minister faced at least two separate probes into disturbing texts revealed about him during his time as chief whip. The PM faced defending him at PMQs tomorrow morning after a string of damaging revelations against him. Just two days ago Mr Sunak told The Sun his words were "unacceptable" and "not right" but stood by his decision to rehire him. And he had said he wanted to wait until the outcome of a probe. Mr Williamson was previously sacked under Theresa May after being accused of leaking national security information. Earlier, his former deputy blew the whistle on 'intimidating' behaviour the Cabinet Minister displayed while Chief Whip - including threats to exploit a colleague's money worries. It is the latest slew of accusations to hit Sir Gavin after he was controversially parachuted into the heart of Rishi Sunak's government just days ago. Ex-deputy chief whip Anne Milton, who worked with Sir Gavin during Theresa May's premiership, turned the screw with fresh claims of 'unethical and immoral' behaviour. Recalling a time they helped out a Tory MP in financial trouble, she told Channel 4: 'I do remember him asking me to give the MP in question the cheque. And he waved it under my nose and said, 'Make sure when you give him this cheque, he knows I now own him'.' On another occ){kind=link}

He said: “It is with real sadness that I tender my resignation, but I want to take this opportunity to offer my full and total support from the back benches.”
Sir Gavin was facing as many as four probes about his conduct after several people made complaints about “intimidation”.
