Gavin Williamson fired

GAVIN WILLIAMSON has been sacked as Defence Secretary.

A Downing Street statement said: “The Prime Minister has this evening asked Gavin Williamson to leave the government, having lost confidence in his ability to serve in the role of Defence Secretary and as a member of her cabinet.”

The minister was fired over a leak from the National Security Council concerning Chinese telecoms firm Huawei’s involvement in Britain’s 5G network.
