Boris Johnson urged to freeze out Gavin Williamson over security concerns – The Sun

BORIS Johnson has been urged to freeze out the ex-minister who has masterminded his leadership campaign.

The wannabe PM is keen to promote Gavin Williamson into his Cabinet after he delivered the support of MPs to secure a place in the final Tory leadership run-off.

But a source in Mr Johnson’s camp insists the mandarin has confirmed that Mr Williamson was not the source of the leak.
