Rishi Sunak believes that fresh bullying allegations against Gavin Williamson are serious, and is considering whether further action should be taken against him, Downing Street has said.
The Guardian revealed that Williamson, who was brought back to the cabinet by Sunak last month, allegedly told a senior civil servant to “slit your throat” and “jump out of the window” in what they claimed was a bullying campaign while he was defence secretary.
