Williamson's been replaced by Penny Mordaunt.

Labour will I'm sure be all over this with a coordinated response, and media-friendly soundbites about the 'national security leak' and 'Chinese leaking scandal', rather than do something silly like waiting for the leader to be asked before giving a prevaricating answer, which is then contradicted by several unbriefed shadow cabinet members. Oh, wait...

He's denied it.

There's a good few people defending him in reply to his tweet...

[Catkins]

Has there every been a Ministerial sacking like this in modern times, rather than a 'quietly allowed to resign' situation?

It would be typical of this government if they'd got the wrong person.

[The Red Arrow]

Not since the home secretary lost the paedo dossier...oh, wait.

Stupid boy
Would we have known about this troubling contract with Huawei if Williamson hadn’t leaked it? It most certainly is a matter for public debate.

Gavin Williamson is seen in his first public appearance since being appointed as defence secretary in November, 2017. He is conducting the band of the Grenadier Guards at Waterloo Station in London

Hmm. There's more to conducting than waving your arms. I wasn't aware he had musical ability.

Williamson now muttering about vendettas and retribution. Clearly thinking he's a Corleone, and to be fair, he is. However, he clearly sees himself as Michael, when everyone else knows he's actually Fredo...

I hear he sings beautifully - like a canary.

Trilogy? There are only two Godfather movies. I refuse to acknowledge the possible existence of a third film.

G3 is funny because Michael is in cahoots with a permatanned Atlantic City businessman. Can't guess who that's based on.
