SIR Gavin Williamson told Liz Truss’ chief whip “you f*** us all over” during an outburst over the Queen’s funeral.
The Minister of State without Portfolio, 46, has been accused of bullying the former Conservative Party enforcer Wendy Morton after a series of expletive-laden text messages came to light.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is standing by him, according to cabinet office minister Oliver Dowden.
Mr Dowden said the phone messages were sent “in the heat of the moment”.
The allegations, reported by The Sunday Times newspaper, have surfaced only days following criticism of Sunak for reappointing Suella Braverman as Home Secretary after she was fired by his predecessor for breaching email security rules.
