Fresh inquiry triggered as civil servant makes formal complaint and Williamson’s former deputy criticises behaviour as chief whip
Gavin Williamson’s political future is in increasing peril after his former deputy chief whip criticised his “unethical and immoral” behaviour while a senior civil servant who said he told them to “slit your throat” made a formal complaint.
Anne Milton, who was Williamson’s number two in the Conservative whips’ office, claimed that he used “leverage” and threats to control MPs and instil a culture of fear in Westminster.
