Sacked defence secretary says reports he wanted to ‘invade Africa’ were leaked to discredit him

Well, it doesn't seem out of character for Williamson, you know, especially after it was his idea to put an aircraft carrier into the South China Sea. Just sayin'

Diabetes? It is widely discussed that diabetes could be affecting Theresa May’s emotional and decision making capacities. Reflecting on this fact would only be to help May out of a difficult hole.

Classic Gavdog!

Regardless of how bad he was at his job GavinWilliamson shouldn’t have to carry the can for others,there’s a lot more to this than meets the Sp👁 carolecadwalla toryboypierce Kevin_Maguire MiAuldChina FoRG1vE ThE GrammA

But...they’re not anonymous “smears”?

Tell me about it mate.... LineOfDuty

If, as is reported, Mr Williamson 'knows where the bodies are' then I suggest he starts using this against the PM. She has to be removed and if he can do what the 1922 Committee, the ERG, Boris et al. cannot do, then all will be forgiven. Stop complaining and take the offensive.
