LIZ Truss accepted help on her leadership campaign from a former minister accused of sexual harassment – despite knowing about the claims against him, it has been reported.
The Prime Minister is said to have known about the allegations against the politician, along with other members of Boris Johnson’s cabinet.
The allegations – revealed in The Independent, which did not name the man – come after a fractious Tory conference this week, during which Truss struggled to maintain party discipline as Cabinet members contradicted each other on raising benefits and some backbenchers, including ex-minister Nadine Dorries, came out in open rebellion against the PM.
