The Independent - Williamson quits as bullying claims mount

Summary of the front page

The Independent leads on Gavin Williamson’s resignation. The paper says Rishi Sunak did not know “any specific allegations” against ousted minister Sir Gavin Williamson, an ally insisted as the Prime Minister faces questions about his judgment.

Education Secretary Gillian Keegan argued Sir Gavin “acted quickly” in resigning from the Cabinet after just a fortnight in office as he was subject to claims of bullying.

She said Mr Sunak possesses the “highest degree of integrity and judgment” despite bringing the twice-sacked minister back into Government while knowing of a complaint against him.
