Gavin Williamson spared suspension for bullying MP over Queen funeral snub

NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

Former Tory minister Sir Gavin Williamson has avoided being suspended from Parliament for ‘intimidating’ a colleague whom he blamed for missing the Queen’s funeral.

An parliamentary inquiry found Sir Gavin had bullied Wendy Morton while he was a Cabinet Office minister and she was Tory chief whip.

The panel said it ‘considered carefully’ whether to suspend him but instead ordered him to make a ‘full and unreserved apology’ to Ms Morton.

Now a backbencher, Sir Gavin was forced to quit his government role by Rishi Sunak last year after his expletive-laden texts to Wendy Morton came to light.
