UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak disowned the alleged bullying behavior of former minister Gavin Williamson and said he regrets appointing him to his Cabinet last month.

Williamson, a close ally of the premier, quit just 14 days after Sunak entered No. 10 Downing Street promising that his government would be based on the principles of “integrity, professionalism and accountability.”
