Rishi Sunak retains total confidence in Sir Gavin Williamson and welcomes that he has “expressed regret” about angry texts sent to a colleague, Downing Street said.
Asked if the Prime Minister has full confidence in the Cabinet Office minister, the PM’s official spokesman said: “Yes.”
Pressed on why Sir Gavin is still in post if Mr Sunak views the texts he sent as unacceptable, he said: “Well, as you know, there is a process going on. I think, obviously, that’s run by the Conservative Party. So, it’s not one for me.
