Sky News looks at the chaotic 72 hours that led to the downfall of the Cabinet Office minister
Sir Gavin Williamson's third stint in the cabinet was by far his shortest.
He had"lashed out" at his colleague in the messages, according to the report, claiming she had excluded him from attending the Queen's funeral for political reasons and warning her"there is a price for everything". "These were sent in the heat of the moment expressing frustration," he says."It was a difficult time for the party. He now accepts that he shouldn't have done it and he regrets doing so. Thankfully, we are in a better place now as a party."That morning Labour calls for an"urgent independent investigation" into the appointment of Sir Gavin, with shadow climate secretary Ed Miliband warning against a"cover-up" over the allegations.
Mr Sunak attends the COP27 climate conference in Egypt and reporters specifically ask about the texts Sir Gavin allegedly sent to Ms Morton. The civil servant, who later left government, says Sir Gavin"deliberately demeaned and intimidated" them on a regular basis. They say they reported the incidents informally to the MoD's head of human resources, but decided against making a formal complaint.
