The much-sacked cabinet minister was clearly the right person for the job. For a fortnight, anyway
Alas poor Gav … But what a fortnight! A triumph of professionalism, integrity and accountability.
Devastated. Heartbroken. When King Charles dabbed away a tear at his mother’s funeral, it wasn’t because he was moved by the poetry with which Liz Truss read the lesson. Or even the solemnity of the occasion. What had upset him so profoundly was the jokey text message from Kwasi Kwarteng informing him that Gavin Williamson had been left off the guest list by Wendy Morton. Thank God the Queen was no longer alive to witness one of her oldest friends being “pussed about”.
