Gavin Williamson told to apologise and have behaviour training for bullying former Tory chief whip
The Guardian Sir Gavin Williamson will have to apologise to the Commons and undergo behavioural training after having been found to have bullied his Conservative colleague Wendy Morton in a series of text messages in 2022.
The former cabinet minister was found to have abused his power when he sent Morton the messages in September 2022 complaining about not getting a seat at the queens funeral. The messages included Williamson telling Morton, who was then chief whip: Well lets see how many more times you fuck us all over. There is a price for everything.
The Guardian revealed shortly afterwards that Williamson had also been accused of bullying civil servants when he was defence secretary, including telling one to slit your throat and jump out of a window. Williamson denied his behaviour amounted to bullying but stepped down from the cabinet the following day.
