Jason Stein, a key adviser to Liz Truss who was suspended over allegations that he was behind negative and abusive briefings about other Conservative MPs, has been reinstated following an investigation that took slightly over 48 hours, Downing Street has said.
The suspension took place on Wednesday following anonymous quotes from No 10 sources provided to the media, most notably one that suggested Truss believed Sajid Javid, the former chancellor, was “shit”.
