Intersting quotes

Text from senior Tory MP about Gavin Williamson: "He's out of the ****storm. Knifed Fallon and pinched his job. It's way above his ability."

Fallon timeline: Gavin Williamson tells PM that Fallon might have to go. Fallon goes. Williamson gets his job

One minister tells me ‘She is so weak she has let Williamson appoint himself-this is appalling’

There are times when offered a job that it would be better to advise that another would be more experienced & suited to the role.

Another minister:" Gavin is an appalling appointment. He's never stepped foot in a dept + now he's running one of the most important"

Minister tells me: "She's gone mad. It's real 'end of days' stuff. He's [Williamson] a real slimeball, w/ his own leadership team in place"
