The question that was nearly asked in PMQs.
Quote:
One of Liz Truss’s top aides has been suspended from his job pending an investigation, it has been reported.
Jason Stein is a special advisor to the prime minister and is facing an investigation by the Cabinet Office’s propriety and ethics unit.
The move follows anger from some Conservative MPs over briefings by Mr Javid was lined up to ask a question at prime minister’s questions on Wednesday, but ultimately did not ask it. The aide was reported to be suspended just minutes before prime minister’s questions began.
ITV News reports that Mr Javid had demanded the suspension in exchange for dropping his question to the prime minister – whose leadership is on the ropes.
Mr Stein was Ms Truss’s senior campaign advisor during her Tory leadership bid this year.
