Updated Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson has been sacked from the British government after apparently leaking the news that Blighty isn’t completely banning Huawei from its 5G networks.

Williamson is accused of being the source for a Daily Telegraph front-page story stating that the National Security Council, made up of senior Cabinet ministers, had decided to allow Huawei to supply equipment for the edge – but not the core – of the UK’s future 5G networks.
