Shock at Westminster as Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson is sacked after a probe into a National Security Council leak. In a letter, the Prime Minister Theresa May said she has lost confidence in his ability to serve in the cabinet. Mr Williamson "strenuously" denied he was involved in disclosing plans to allow Chinese telecoms giant Huawei to help build the UK's 5G network. There's been calls from opposition parties to have the police investigate whether the Official Secrets Act has been breached. Stephen spoke to Sam Coates, Deputy Political Editor, The Times.
