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.
