Burns says it is ‘beyond strange’ that he was sacked without being told what the allegation against him was
The former minister Conor Burns has suggested he has been denied “natural justice” after being sacked from the government for allegedly touching a young man’s thigh in a Conservative party conference hotel bar.
The prime minister, Liz Truss, sacked Burns and withdrew the Conservative whip with immediate effect on Friday, pending an investigation into the claims.
