🔺 Update: Sir Gavin Williamson has not denied telling a senior civil servant to “slit your throat” and “jump out of a window” but suggested the comments did not amount to bullying

What a putrid little man.

What exactly does he think it amounts to?

I'm pretty sure telling someone to slit their throat could reach the criteria for criminal proceedings.

I can not imagine any circumstances where I'd keep my job if I had said similar to a colleague.

Yeah but these people are different. Special.

If a poster on MN said that to another poster, they would probably get banned!

“Make sure when you give him this cheque he knows that I now own him.”

Sir Gavin Williamson has been accused of issuing an inappropriate threat to an MP in financial trouble by former deputy chief whip Anne Milton, who used to work with him when he was chief whip.

So many people on that thread saying it's an unfair pile on, he's a decent guy. I despair

ClaudineClare · 08/11/2022 20:14

I wonder if he'll resign/be sacked before tomorrow's PMQs? I predict Sunak will drag out the Corbyn line again when Starmer asks why Sir Gav hasn't gone.

TokyoSushi · 08/11/2022 20:17

Gav's resigned says The Guardian

I don't think Braverman will go.
I don't think Williamson will go.
I think this is the new Sunak era:-

"we don't have loads of changes and are stable" = outside world appearance

"These people gifted me the leadership" = thinly disguised truth.

See! I know exactly what I'm talking about!!!

tobee · 08/11/2022 20:21

What a wanker he is

tobee · 08/11/2022 20:22

Why did Sunak not sack him?

TokyoSushi · 08/11/2022 20:23

tobee · 08/11/2022 20:22

Why did Sunak not sack him?

Because he's weak

ClaudineClare · 08/11/2022 20:26

Ugh, his resignation letter is so slimy it practically has slug trails criss crossing it (apologies to any slugs who might be offended by the comparison).

Saucery · 08/11/2022 20:28

🎉🎉

ClaudineClare · 08/11/2022 20:32

tobee hopefully you will be proved wrong about Braverman too! That would be soooo sweet. Sunak would be in real trouble.

Notonthestairs · 08/11/2022 20:32

Williamson = 2 sackings and a resignation.

DuncinToffee · 08/11/2022 20:34

Just heard it on the car radio, allegations have become a distraction, fuck off.

“I refute the characterisation of these claims”

He doesn't deny it then

Another of those 'I don't believe', 'I don't recognise'

Just got in and switched on sky news and came to report that.

Beat me to it Grin

Fladdermus · 08/11/2022 20:59

So who will replace him?

Oh yeah, nobody as he's minister of fuck all.

Will he get the ministerial payoff?

the80sweregreat · 08/11/2022 21:03

It just popped up that his just resigned

tobee · 08/11/2022 21:13

Yeah I'd rather it was Braverman. She's not minister of fuck all. She's got the potential to do real harm to the country. Not just psychopathic to fellow Tory MPs.

itsgettingweird · 08/11/2022 21:15

As much as I really think Braverman should be sacked or resign there's a part of me that really doesn't want her hanging around here more than necessary Grin

Notonthestairs · 08/11/2022 21:16

"Will he get the ministerial payoff?"

Yes I think he'll get three months ministerial salary.
