Calls for 'urgent independent investigation' as shadow minister says reappointment of Gavin Williamson 'not in the public interest'

"What it says is that Rishi Sunak was making decisions simply in his own narrow short-term interest as far as the Conservative Party leadership was concerned, not the national interest.

The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster said the PM still has confidence in Sir Gavin - who was appointed as a Cabinet Office minister in the recent reshuffle - and that there are no current plans to remove him from his post. Another message reads"think very poor how [Privy Councillors] who aren't favoured have been excluded from the funeral".Miliband calls for bullying reviewAsked about the allegations, Mr Dowden told Sky News:"He was aware that there was a difficult relationship between the chief whip and a number of backbenchers, of which Gavin Williamson was one."

Mr Dowden continued:"He shouldn't have sent those messages. And he says that he regrets it. But of course, the prime minister continues to have confidence in Gavin Williamson as a minister."Former culture secretary Nadine Dorries dismissed Mr Dowden's defence of Sir Gavin.

Sorry Keir. Switched of from you yesterday after hearing you say FOM gone forever. More hope of rejoining SM CU with the Tory's I'm thinking 🤔which is probably their ace card for next GE.

Where Starmers judgement on: Corbyn Second Brexit referendum Labour’s antisemitism More lockdowns His deputy calling Tories scum Has been sound🙄

.....from the guy who would have happily served as a secretary of state in the cabinet of jeremycorbyn!

Why. He threw a tantrum & in a private message used expletives common place in media reports to vent his frustration at a Tory whips dubious behaviour on behalf of a failing PM. He apologized for language, let's move on or do we have to stuff bacon butties in Eds mouth again

Is that why he’s being blamed today for Tory Incompetence

Does Gavin Williamson strike you as the 'do you know who I am?' type? 🤔🤨🙄

Labor again want another inquiry costing the tax payer when everyone is trying to make ends meet

There is no defence for this form of behaviour at the pinnacle of Public Service. The public expects more from cabinet members from all parties of all political persuasions. If the evidence is as it seems. Sir Gavin Williamson must surely be removed.

Good on Ed. Williamson is a bully, a thug and a misogynist

What's Eds plans on important issues

If I was her husband I think I may have had a word with the prick.😉

What's wrong with this government. All of them are up to something. 3 Prime minister's and all fishing in the same pool of dodgy politicians. There are plenty of decent back benches more than worthy of the positions the same old trash keep getting.

Sir….. 😂

Still trying to get over the fact that Gavin Williamson can be 'a bully' 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
